Do NOT send it out into the terminal during an epic IROPS or it might end up a cathartic punching bag for the customers.

It can high five the entire half-mile-long line for the help desk at JFK the next time we have a staffing or IT meltdown. That, plus our hat wearing, will improve our NPS score from those customers and strengthen the Brand.

This has the look and feel of a company bloated with extra departments looking for reasons to justify their jobs.

When thinking of iconic airline corporate logos, what first comes to mind is PanAm, KLM, Alaskan (Inuit), Lufthansa, United, and Swiss Air.

Some aren't even around anymore, but many can still picture the logo. That's good marketing.

Velvet. And similar kool-aid events.

It’s a little silly, but in the big scheme of things, this is less than budget dust.

Yes , widgey can go around to all the gates during delays and cancellations due to ATC staffing , Delta pilot staffing and Endeavor Captain shortage/Attrition . Widgey can do magic tricks , Juggle bowling pins and hand out lollipops to the little ones to sooth over all the angry passengers .

Can I audition for the Job as Widgey ? Could be a good side gig if I could charge 100,000 per appearance 😂. I can sing , dance and play the strata castor guitar.
