Three cheers for Delta Airlines Flight Attendant Craig Lee. That would specifically be the Craig Lee on Delta Flight # 1620 from MSP to ATL on May 1, 2010. This guy gets it. This guy has a great career in front of him. All he needs to do is maintain the perfect perspective he has about who’s the customer and what the customer values. Not what the customer wants. What the customer values.
He made the effort to look up and greet me by my name. He smiled when he politely greeted me. My bullshit detector slammed up against the “Sincere” end of the scale when he did so. He exuded confidence, competence and professionalism. He communicated that he understood my perspective as the jaded, almost-3-million miler with Delta. He followed up the words with action geared to my desires (and pain) as an airline passenger. Whoa!!! How rare is that???
Thank you, Mr. Lee. You get it. I sure hope your bosses at Delta realize how rare a man you are! Thanks!
