I also made the decision to engage our customers more. If the captain bolts for the crew bus, I stay and thank the passengers. If the Capt stays, I don't crowd and I will leave. It has been great to see the positive vibe from the passengers, FAs and even the agents who see it. I figure the passengers pay my mortgage so the least I could do is thank them.

Like I said though, I do understand the angst, my advice would be to either retire, or just let it go.

Side note....beware: pretty sure luvswa is a troll so wouldn't divulge any excess info.
