So I got home last night from Atlanta, and left this morning for a quick 1 day trip of 5 segments to honor my friend Jim who retires tonight as a 737 Captain for US Airways. I boarded the 11AM shuttle to DCA to meet my buddy, and I notice the guy right in front of me looks familiar. I am more intrigued by the hugs and kisses he gets from the female flight attendants upon boarding.
It turns out he's sitting right next to me (lucky since I had changed my seat upon check in). This mystery guest is none other than Ed Colodny, the former chairman/CEO of USAir. He was very interested in discussing the current state of the airline, and wanted to know more about the passenger advocacy group I chair (FFOCUS). We talked about many areas of the industry, and I discovered that he agrees with our main theory--that in order to have happy customers you need happy employees!
Based on the reception he received from the gate crew and flight crew, I think they might consider him one of the good ones.........
In any case, lucky me.
Y'all be good now.
