while the times I don’t get the upgrade are few, many times that I am seated main cabin the first class flight attendant comes to find me and offers some words of appreciation and a drink. Have to agree with comments above of business 101 and the psychological aspects of it; with the hard realities of life and business travels at times, it just feels nice to get an extra smile and a word of appreciation for your business and loyalty. Free GT is always a plus after a fast and furious week

Yesterday on AA 1803 a 738 flying MIA-DCA the captain came to every EXP in F and gave them a business card and a personalized thank you and welcome as well as some flight information
This was a nice twist on the FA greeting I've been getting a lot this year.

Received a similar card at my seat upon boarding to CLT, second note this year, but this being the first one already present upon boarding. Very nice touch, hoping such recognition at least in the air.

Got one STL-LGA yesterday. It was funny because I was in the window, another EXP was in the aisle, and my daughter (GLD) was in the middle. We got notes and she didn't

I'm jealous! Even as a CK, in nearly ten years, I can only remember a few times when the Captain personally thanked me for flying his airline. However, I gotta say that most Pursers have been fantastic to me.

The cynics may think that it was to solicit good reflection and praise on these questionnaires, but I am not of that school of thought. To use this rather American buzz phrase - I think that you were reaching out to them and have had that thrown in your face. Yet to me it meant a lot ,and I alone got one.

I love the notes. I dont get them often but they seem thoughtful and can brighten a long travel day.
Like any thank you card, someone spent time writing it and thinking abotu it and that is what counts. The effort
