Default Thanks

Quick shout out - to balance against all the negativity that can be pushed on social media....

We had a REALLY early show in SAT. So early all coffee shops were closed at hotel and airport on arrival.
We had a couple minutes prior to push so I ran inside to see if the 1 coffee shop inside security was open yet. It was, and with a MASSIVE line.
I couldn’t cut off 15 people in line. A Southwest pilot was in line at the front, and I asked him if he could grab 2 coffees for me and I would pay him.
Thanks for your help keeping 2 fellow crew members and DL pilots awake. 👍

Finding coffee or food that’s available in a timely manner has completely disappeared from our daily work life. Good to see we’re all looking out for each other.

Not my problem. If I need to eat I'll wait in line. The flight won't leave without me. Well maybe it will, but that's okay.

"God Bless The AMers!"

I say this at least once every trip.

To bad all SWA pilots don’t feel the same. It’s the only way for change.

Remember that when we’re running for the hotel shuttle. 😅

Me thinks they’re not staying at the likes of the Elegante or the dump in SMF.

Crew lines would solve some of these problems...

Yet another reason to avoid those a.m. trips.

Another reason: when you need to drop un nombre deux, there's a bunch of dudes waiting in line for the stalls, and when you do finally get one, the seat's still warm.

All of which helps explain why a.m.-ers seem so tense.
