Let's face it...this is a ugly business no matter who you work for.
Wow. Ok, I work for brand "F", but I must admit I have been treated with the utmost courtesy on most airlines. Even to the point of being offered free goodies when others pay, offered a bottle of water on the way out "for the road" etc.
I don't stick my head in the cockpit, I think that might be an intrusion, but if a cockpit crewmember is standing by the door, I always thank them for a nice, safe flight. I
always thank the cabin crew, even the few that have not performed well. Never burn a bridge, maybe just a bad day, or hey, we are all in this together anyway.
Just my take on the stuff.
