Im A Car dealer for 38 years, Used Car Dealership Owner… meaning I am in More different Types and models than someone who works for a new car dealership.

Very Few cars have the Arrow you are all speaking about.
I have over 100 cars and am in about8 cars a week. I only had 12 of all the cars I was in in the last month Have the Fuel Door Arrow. some foreign cars have them. But in Reality Most cars DO NOT Have the Door Arrow.

(Pre web) I wrote a letter praising a Southwest ticket agent and got back a short note from Herb Kelleher.

I write letters and mail them the old fashioned way. I nearly always get a personal (not boilerplate) reply.

Letters of praise have gotten replies from field managers. Complaints have gotten checks (versus airline credits).

Email is good for a lot of things…communicating with an airline is not one of them.

Well it is just nice to get positive feedback. Many people are quick to complain, but slow to compliment.

I had a similar experience when I wrote about a very helpful reservations agent named Ginger in Seattle. It’s nice to know someone reads them and passes them along.

Maybe my compliment will make a difference in Ginger’s life someday… who knows.

hah…i couldn’t hold my macbook air (which weights practically nothing) or a NookColor tablet on my flight yesterday (much less a five pound laptop). I think they do let you hold a coat on your lap though…so maybe next time I’l tell the FA I need my laptop to stay warm

The last time we flew to Hawaii (LAX-LIH on UA, April 2011) we were given infant life vests by the FAs and stashed them in the seat back pockets (which meant we didn’t have room to put anything else in the pockets). Oddly, HA didn’t give us any on our LIH-HNL leg where you could argue there was a greater risk of a water landing (being a smaller aircraft and an overwater landing approach).

I would assume that anyone saying such a thing would be joking — no matter how deadpan the delivery!

I sometimes make deadpan jokes and am mistakenly believed to be serious, so I know about these things….
