Dojetdriver,

Spanair certainly does!

Landed late at a Spanish airport less than 2 weeks ago, too late for me to make the flight booked out of there for me by our dispatchers. My Spanish colleague got on the horn to the flight I was meant to catch just as they were asking for clearance (we had just parked), got them to 'go numbers', had a quick chin-wag with them and next thing one of our engineers ran me over to them in his pick-up within minutes. I was last to board - obviously in uniform - the captain checked my licence and crew I.D., jotted down my licence-number and that was it. The girls parked me in business and I was home in no time!

To those Spanish pilots reading this: I was dumbstruck by the hospitality you guys afford other crew, and am impressed that you manage to keep such a tradition of friendliness alive even to this overly-hysterical day. I take my hat off to you.
