Staff travel

Was recently back in LA, and those feckers at the check in desk there......
Quite a game ain't it.....standing respectfully opposite them with 5 mins to go......been doing iot for years, all over the world.......pain in the arse...sure but step back...look at the guy over the road....mowing his lawn looking forward to the next footy game...never knowing the abstract thrill of staff travel..or the fabulous expense of feeding wife and kids in far flung parts at short notice, and all but wiping out most of the cost saving on the tkt.....explain the complexity and hit and miss nature of staff travel to the great unwashed and then they take on a different idea of it....that year long planned holiday? Go oput to the airport 3 days in a row and miss aircraft...there is more to the story......

LAX check in staff take note.....except for that delightful Afro American lady who checked Mrs Fliegs and I through to JFK with incredible good service recently....you reallt were wonderful...
