Personally, I had a problem with an airline recently. My wife will attest to the fact that from the time I was 21 until I was 34, I attended a minimum of 3 networking events per week. I've built my business through many networking events as well over many years (still do!). I called and emailed, and received no response.

Recently I needed to change a flight with United Airlines. So I grabbed my iPhone , dialed United, and heard this recorded message: Thanks for calling United Airlines. We all know waiting on hold for-EV-ver on the phone, or standing in a l–o–n–g line, are a few of life’s most unpleasant, time sucking experiences.

Southwest Airlines has to coordinate its marketing and customer service response, in real-time, create its own content on its blog and Twitter account, while also dealing with the media jackals. Now, he tweeted it to his 1.6 million followers, and it becomes a national incident in minutes. Despite the cold you were terrific!

Today, I’ve fortunately been upgraded to first class, which happens infrequently because I travel enough to make it exhausting, but not enough to make it rewarding. Air travel has devolved to the point that it’s essentially a shared national joke, like Trump’s hair or Paris Hilton’s vacuousness.
