in this deal, I want to thank the WN folks who make my commute so easy. I have commuted for the better part of 14 years and not ONCE have I ever had a bad experience while begging for a ride. Since this announcement, I have made 4 legs on WN and EVERYONE, from the gate to the crews, have been great. My first rip on WN was as a lowly E-2 trying to make my way home after the first Gulf Adventure, 6 legs in all. 3 days enroute, I was tired, smelly and grouchy. The FA's @ WN saw my uniform, told the cockpit and the Captain made a PA thanking me for my service and welcoming me home. The whole plane broke out in applause and suddenly I felt on top of the world. The Captain INSISTED that the drinks were on him, the flight attendants shined me up GOOD! I felt like a rock star! Fast forward to 2008, my 23 year old nephew, returning from Iraq as a smelly, grouchy 82nd Airborne 11B had the greatest tale to tell. The SAME EXPERIENCE, the SAME CHEERS and the SAME FREE BEER! The SAME RESULTS! Someone doing a tougt job, not expecting anything and being made to feel like a million bucks courtesy of WN. How ever this deal turns out, I want to thanks you all for your graciousness. I have a lot of faults, ingratitude isn't one of them....
