I agree. My last several interactions with airline CS-- both on the phone (RAs) and in person (GAs)-- have been positive. I didn't always get what I want but I always got at least as much as I was promised by company policy. That's an important aspect of getting good CS-- approach it with reasonable expectations. And, maintaining a positive demeanor generally gets one in return.
