I am a NW Elite and got used to First Class regressing to the flight attendant reading the magazine for most of the flight. These crews are young, hungry, and comissioned. Between CMH and PSM, they came by my seat 4 times asking if there was anything they could get for me. It wasn't bad. I got the $10 tickets. I live in DTW, so it is a 3-hour drive to CMH, but for the cheapie tickets (and curiousity) it balanced out. I wish them well. It is what it is advertised to be, which is more than I can say for the service on NW and most of the other legacies that I have flown this year. Good luck Skybus.
You know, there have been a lot of negative comments about the commission aspect, but it obviously has positives, too. Kinda like tips in restaurants. There becomes an incentive for the fa's not to read a magazine the whole flight.
