The boarding process: “We’d like to welcome our active duty service members. Diamond level Travelstar card holders. Parents with small children. People with airline-branded credit cards. Investors in our parent company’s class A stock. Those holding active lottery tickets. Anyone with freckles. Unaccompanied service animals.” [stares out at mostly empty gate area, sighs deeply] “…and Bob.”
