Oh Dave, I completely share your frustration. I'm a marketing expert that believes passionately in customer service and I do get upset when I hear of these type of stories. I did my thesis on Relationship Marketing in the Airline Industry for my Masters of Business in International Marketing a good few years back and somethings never change.

Let us know how you get on. Have another (complimentary!) coffee.

Take care,

Denise

This goes way beyond simply trying to accommodate passenger requests. It should include helping passengers navigate the stressful and often confusing aspects of air travel. In this business, they're supposed to be the experts.
