Here's what I'll gladly give $10 for : Stop the business traveler from thinking it's their right to put their roller bag, laptop, and coat in one overhead bin, so they can stretch their 30" inseam legs. Your 2nd bag goes under your seat. And here's $10 if you can keep the guy behind me (not the toddler, the other guy) from slamming his tray table up and down. Don't have to be an engineer to see which seat it's attached to - mine. I'll drop another $10 for keeping the woman quiet who's trying so hard to impress the guy she met at the bar by laughing so loudly at all of his dumb remarks. Christmas presents missing from my bag last year on AA. Canceled/changed flight times without notifying me on my San Juan trip on DL. Has Southwest spoiled my flying experience by offering me an upgrade? Nope. The lack of common sense and civility has. My last $10 goes to the quiet, polite person who smiles and makes eye contact instead of "saving" a seat for their imaginary friend.

Bill - I haven't had the chance to talk to you yet - we'll save the conversation for when I'm less emotional. Thanks - to you, and Gary, and Pete, and Brook, and Adam, and Nicholas - thanks for giving this girl a ride home.

Carole - always a pleasure reading your posts - almost as much as opening the door of the aircraft and finding you on the other side! I'll be at my "second home" for Christmas - turning flights in the heartland, and handing out the Christmas Spirit boxes the Culture Committee folks packed earlier in the month (what a workout!)...Hope you and yours have a wonderful holiday - looking forward to seeing you in the New Year!
