Actually he gets the same. But I deal primarily with the same small set of customers. Unlike a Delta employee, I don't see hundreds of new customers daily and I don't get yelled at. Except maybe by my boss. :D

:D:D I have the utmost respect for the stress the GA's and agents are under and know that when we worked the gate those with smiles were helped much quicker and with greater gusto than the frowns... I think you do as well ;)

I can thank an FTer for that :) MCO-MSY on WN is an experience! And I know you are super jealous of a Short Line.

Incredibly jealous. But it's not on a CRJ-200 so I'm not that jealous.

If you happen to need assistance and find yourself in front of a SkyPriority agent, for Heaven's sake be sure your DM tag is visible!

I'll make sure it clanks really loud.

^ I was going to post the photo of the MerskiBird 200 that was created for your trip from DSM, alas it might be a TOS violation given the little content.

What do you mean? The new ones seem to be slightly thicker, and make a higher pitched noise when "clanked" but they still clank...

The DM tags don't have an expiration date... I'm keeping my collection of clanky ones. Maybe I'll switch back to the DM Charter tags when the clanky ones finally get crumpled one too many times by the baggage monkeys and fall apart.

Did you expect for the purser to just go away because you walked into the line?

They seem to do this all the time with folks in the econ line if things are slow. At that point I don't think anyone stands aside if a sky priority person shows up in line.

I have a different view. Far too often the OP starts these dramatic threads implying there have been policy or procedure changes when in fact it may have just been an off day or as explained above; odd circumstances. I don't think her constant paranoia about being wronged is helpful whatsoever. An economist should know you need multiple experiences/data examples before calling something a trend.
