Mucho Gracias, Amigos
I would just like to take the opportunity to thank the crew and gate agent working the PHX flight tonight for getting me on the jumpseat.
We were in early from LHR and as I cleared customs I thought, what the heck, I will give it a shot. I dashed over to T5, made it through KCM and ran up to the gate only to see the door closed with 16 minutes to go! I waved in the window and the Captain and the gate agent came out to get me checked in and on the flight.
Both went out of their way to get me home, saving me an overnight stay in JFK. I really appreciate this and, as always, you guys and gals are welcome on my jumpseat.
I have also had a great experience with the Delta peeps as well. 30; years living in base spoiled me, now I’ve been commuting for a year and a half and it’s the kindness extended that makes this commute bearable.

That's REAL culture. BJ gets no credit for that. Let's keep being excellent to each other.

“Do we need to divert?” Nope. Got my own pen right here. And I’m gonna follow that by dissolvable Benadryl. So I’ll be asleep in 30 min. Carry on.
As an aside, on a Mint flight I worked, 4 of the 5 meal choices had walnuts. The whole other genre from peanuts to hazelnuts are just fine. It’s walnuts and pecans that kill me. So I’m good with my Eat Up box
