@MBonvoyAssist your CSRs seem to be inept. I had a simple request to credit a missing stay that has now led to an actual reduction in points earned. 3 reps that attempted to assist actually made things worse.

Hey @TSA at @flySEA…do better.

I’m in and out of airports multiple times a week and your agents are the worst…consistently disorganized, rude, and inept.

For many travelers, travel is stressful enough. Don’t make it worse.

@AlaskaAir 💙

[Derek Smith @derek_c_smith]

@RexChapman Yup. Lived in DFW area most of my life, so AA and Southwest were easy options. Now live in PNW and fly @AlaskaAir exclusively. I can’t imagine that I’ll ever fly with anyone else, as @AlaskaAir is spectacular!

There are 30 million Texans who deserve a better Senator than Ted Cruz.

I have won tough races before. We are going to win this.

@MBonvoyAssist This does not resolve the issue, as app won’t open at all without crashing. I have most updated app and iOS.

[Derek Smith @derek_c_smith]

@MBonvoyAssist iPhone app continues to crash. Any update in sight?

The joy of leadership comes from seeing others achieve more than they thought they were capable of.

[Derek Smith @derek_c_smith]

@KwaniALunis Many, and I’m a better man and leader because of them.

We pay too much attention to the most confident voices—and too little attention to the most thoughtful ones.

Certainty is not a sign of credibility. Speaking assertively is not a substitute for thinking deeply.

It's better to learn from complex thinkers than smooth talkers.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

Saying "I might be wrong" is not a mark of ignorance. It reveals the absence of insecurity.

Arrogance is a shield for a fragile ego. Humility is a sign of self-assurance.

It takes confidence to admit uncertainty. The people who are the most sure are usually the most insecure.
