Sure, maybe the pilots wouldn't care if one violates the law and policy. But then, maybe they would. Or at least chalk it up as another example of JetSmarter members misbehaving.
What would be really great for this $1 billion+ company (
) to do would be to have its concierge be prepared to cater JetDeals when requested at reasonable fees, rather than seem flummoxed by a simple request for a bottle of wine, and then ultimately offer a $35 bottle for $165. (I was prepared to pay more than the retail price, and it's not like the money would break me, but you have to draw a line somewhere.)
