People realize now that breaks, naps or opportunities to reset and rest are crucial to our continued productivity and our mental health and well-being.
Customer Service in the Air
Why does it seem that when a flight has been delayed -- the airlines act as if they have no control to make sure you make your connections? As if YOU are the one that has been delinquent to get yourself to the flight on time. Where has the "service" that we are paying...
