IJMC - Like to Fly?

I wonder how long it will be before companies begin acting human again. 
So many corporations seem to believe that acting like a corporation, dry, 
cold, and heartless is how they should behave. I wouldn't so much 
recommend boycotting such companies, however, I would suggest that you 
encourage those who do well through your continued business. Something we 
as consumers forget is we can change things. Shopping at a discount store 
to save a few dollars hurts in the long run. I'm not saying you should 
pay high prices, I'm more suggesting we all get what we pay for. A little 
extra can go a long way towards service and I like to think that if 
companies start noticing that's what we want, and that we are willing to 
pay for it, then we will get what we ask for. That's my two bits.   -dave

P.S. All companies should treat "new clients" as well...




Supposedly True Airline Stories 

My father came back on a flight from a business trip with a safe landing. The
airline slowed down to a stop after exiting the runway and paused without
motion. Two minutes later, the airline pivoted 90 degrees clockwise and
stopped. After another 2 minute pause, the airline again pivoted, but to the
left about 180 degrees. Again, the airline stopped and stood motionless. Two
minutes later, the captain's voice boomed from the loudspeaker, "Can anyone
out there tell me where Gate 11 is?" 

After a long delay at the snowbound Cincinnati Airport, we were finally
pulling out (backing up to start taxiing). The air hostesses were doing their
pre-flight routine, apologizing for the delay, when the captain's voice
boomed: "All you air hostesses in the aisles: How many times have I told you
not to stand in the aisles & block my view when I am backing up!" 

A saleswoman from a major condom company was required to travel cross-country
to meet a prospective buyer. Her boss asked her to take about 100 condoms of
various types with her. As she was running late for her flight, she simply
stuffed them all into her briefcase. The cab ride to the airport was delayed
by traffic and she had just enough time to throw her ticket at the counter and
run onto the plane. As she jumped into the airplane, she dropped her
briefcase, and all the condoms flew out all over the floor in front of all the
passengers and crew. They all stared amazed at the display and then looked to
the woman, who said sheepishly, "I'm meeting a new client."
