I wasn't on the flight - but apparently Amanda Seyfriend recently flew AA to LAX and was none too pleased w/her AA service.
Among her many complaints, "they didn't even have a greeter" for her.

I don't really keep tabs on this kind of stuff but this year has been exceptional. So far:
Melissa McCarthy the Monday after her stint on SNL flying JFK-LAX.
Joe Theisman on a DFW-IAD flight. Seemed nice and courteous.
Two weeks ago was the best. JFK-LAX. Standing next to the carrousel waiting for luggage. Two guys standing next to me. People kept coming up, and they're really excited. So I ask, "Are you guys famous?" Because I'm oblivious and a complete idiot. One of them says with humor and modesty, "No, we're just musicians." Me: "Cool. My son is a drummer. Are either of you a drummer?" Him: "We're both drummers." Me: "Cool. What's the name of the band you play in?" Him: "It's called The Foo Fighters." Me: "Oh. Is one of you guys Dave Grohl?" Him: "I'm Dave." Me: "Oh. It's nice to meet you." And we shake hands. So I text my son, the drummer. He's envious. And I say to my son, "There was another guy with him. A little shorter and with blond hair." Son: "That's Taylor Hawkins, their drummer."
Maybe I broke protocol but I got a picture with Dave Grohl, he grabbed my phone a took a selfie. They were both just the nicest guys. If I'd known who they were, I'd probably have left them alone.
