tuscanlifeedit,
Maybe people just forget that lots of money only makes them rich. It doesn't make them any of the other things that they were hoping wealth would bring.
I feel a little sad for TravelTess.

A good friend and her partner retired as FAs with top seniority. They only flew the Paris or Munich route - unless they wanted to go somewhere else. Believe me, those "fawning" FAs have LOTS of stories to tell. Travel divas beware - you are the source of quite a lot of cocktail and dinner party stories - and yes, the butt of many jokes. Good manners go a long way in this world - even in First Class.

I don't want or expect anyone to fawn on me. FA's treat me well because I'm courteous to them. I am happy to be treated well because I am a nice person and not because I have to pay people to treat me with respect.

Congratulations, fellow RN Cheryl! Have a great trip, and enjopyarrival into my easy-to-navigate hometown airport.
Re: SWA, its CEO Herb Kelleher made a point of hiring Vietnam vets long before it was "politically correct" and has supported veterans' projects since.
Google "Southwest Airlines humor" for some good laughs prior to your flight.
