On one hand it's such a beta move to tweet your frustration, but on the other it's scary that we live in a world where a GED holder in a blue polyester suit has such authority and power.

quote:

Duff Watson and his two children were boarding a flight from Denver to Minneapolis on Sunday. Watson said he has priority boarding because he’s an “A-List” customer.

When he arrived to the gate, the agent wouldn’t allow his two children to board with him.

“I was left very upset, very embarrassed, very humiliated,” said Watson. “In leaving I said, ‘real nice way to treat an A-list, I’ll be sure to tweet about it.’”


quote:

Southwest Airlines tweeted an apology to Watson and says it is reviewing the matter.


That agent is as good as fired.

Should be.

Companies spend millions to create a reputation and an image, and one idiot in a matter of minutes has undone millions of dollars worth of advertising work.

That's because social media and PC-ness has rendered power, to idiots.

I'm sure he'd be cool if some stranger tweeted his name and his home address for all the world to see out of anger.

Actually, he sounds like a whiney shite bag. I'm sure there is more than what he's telling for the narrative.

Eta: She'll likely be retrained. No one is going to lose their job because one whiney bitch was inconvenienced.

Thats a little bit of an exaggeration. Obviously what the agent did was ridiculous but nobody, besides maybe that family and a few close friends, is going to stop using Southwest because of it.

They'll eventually use them again. Southwest has competitive prices.

Certain admins would NOT be happy, but I agree it was harmless.

this is situation hits home -

in my line of work you try and I will continue to try to make everybody happy. But every now and then I get a threat that if they aren't happy they will post it on fb or tweet about it.
