Warm-up trip
Took the company jet to Naperville for meetings this week. Gotta say, very nice. Not so much the plane – it flies like all other planes – but everything else. I pulled up 20 feet from the front door of the hangar, which is a comfortable waiting room with wood floors, soft leather chairs, and warm colors. Looks like a place more suited to drinking bourbon and smoking cigars than waiting for a plane.
The walk from there to the plane was another 30 feet. No security. No checking in luggage. Walk on, sit down. 5 minutes later we’re in the air.
1 hour later, we’re landing in DuPage, which is a small airport approximately the size of Lincoln’s airport with equally limited traffic. DuPage is a nice place to fly into as it’s Northwest of our office. They pulled the plane up within 20 feet of my company car.
What really stood out was the level of service from everyone in the outfit, from the pilots to the handlers everyone was extremely courteous, eager to assist, very accomodating. Kudos to the flight team! If we all had their attitude our stock price would be through the roof.
