Glad to see that common sense does at times win the day and bravo to her. The real story here, IMHO, is that corporate listened and allowed a bottom-up idea to take hold. Alaska Airlines get some equity as well in the form of PR.

Brilliant!
Nice to hear an employee getting recognition for a change. It's usually an employee idea, but then again someone higher up the food chain will claim it as their own idea.

Great idea!
