My sentiments exactly Timbo! I'm very cordial, and, after they scowl, I make a crack about them sitting up front so I can sit in back. I appreciate their patronage greatly. I also try to delicately intimate that we're working hard for them. Show them the cockpit, answer any questions, and invite them to enjoy what is an increasingly customer friendly experience in the back. I actually relish that aspect of the job. I don't care if it comes from a bulletin or not. I also drag bags downstairs and push wheelchairs. If they're total dbags, I move on.
