If Delta agents weren't measured by what Zone 2/3 passengers say/indicate in surveys, then we'd see more gate agents like this.
Don't they measure more by what DM/PM passengers say in surveys?

You've convinced me to be more active in both responding to the surveys and in sending in individual messages as warranted. Any idea how a message praising you compares with a JWD certificate? (Obviously, I have limited numbers of the latter and not always enough time to find one.)
