I was jumpseating to work this week on UAL and sat next to a nice older woman who was a mother of a Skywest pilot. She told me her new hire son told her to go to the back of the plane after each flight and help clean the cabin while non-reving. She said her son was strongly insistant about this and it was Skywest policy for non-reving.
I can understand showing appreciation and making sure people on your pass benefits behave properly, but this was too much! She was such a down to earth and classy lady, I knew she would do it.
I laughed and told her it was neither expected nor needed. I said her son is just beginning his career and would cross enough seatbelts and help out to cover her for a lifetime of non-rev travels. I gave her some of my Garidellis chocolate and said that was how I show my appreciation.
I truely enjoyed her company on the trip and have no doubt she has a fine son
...he's just still a little green.
