I've got to give a shout out to the 7ER crew that rode the van to the hotel with us a couple nights ago in TPA. After waiting 15 minutes in the van for this crew to show up and then having to listen to the mindless FA drivel and the captain whining about his back and why he can't sit in the 3rd row, they proceeded to race to the hotel desk so they could check in first. Completely understandable seeing as how they were already checking out 3 hours later than us while we were on a short layover to begin with. No good deed goes unpunished.
