I don't work at an airline but this is my favorite bedtime story - - -
---
Once upon a time, inventory control gifted us a grossly oversold flight to SYR and all the passengers checked in and the ones not holding seats had extremely frowny faces and bad words for the lovely gate agent (who was losing her livelihood). She had already worked doubles on every holiday, gotten reamed for the weather last week and was three seconds away from tossing her badge so hard it would have needed to be extracted from the Earth's core. Suddenly, surrounded by a choir and a halo of light, two flight attendants who were deadheading crew members volunteered to take the jumpseat to help the gate agent before bags started flying at her head at the hand of the frowny faced foul mouthed inconvenienced oversold passengers.
The gate agent was in awe at this late holiday present and had to wipe away a tear as the plane pulled away - - for she nearly got a new behind chewed that night
and really needed her behind in tact to sit on a seat to Rome this weekend. 
The gate agent was delirious but wanted to make sure everyone knew that the deadhead flight attendants on a flight that might have been a mess made it go smoothly.
The thankful gate agent wrote them above and beyond to their manager W.S.
Flight 1238. CLT SYR. I love you. :wub:
What a nice story.
The end.
If I worked there, I'd be teary too....how sweet....
