Im one of those retiring or new flight attendants that served you. Many of us, including me, do this job as a way to serve you guys who have given so much for us. Yes the planes suck but its better than military transport and we try our best to make due with what we have. I do hope you received great customer service onboard even if everything the military pays for is not up to par (Kuwaiti catering yuck). Just want you to know that many of us refuse to fly commercial because of our sincere affection for the men and women that we serve every day.<BR/><BR/>Take careAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13562314.post-57263255399158065992008-01-18T16:41:00.000-06:002008-01-18T16:41:00.000-06:00Dear BagBlog, Laurel, Lainy, Melinda, Membrain, Da...Dear BagBlog, Laurel, Lainy, Melinda, Membrain, David, and Blanche,<BR/><BR/>Thanks for visiting!
