When I was a child I used to hear my mother tell my dad over and over, "Write the letter, but don't mail it. Put it in a drawer for a week, and then read it again." The reason she said that was that my dad would get upset at clients who were late paying him and write them letters that weren't very tactful. He lost several clients that way. So, Ron, I know if people take your advice, they will stay out of a lot of trouble. Thanks, Harriet Meyerson www.ConfidenceCenter.com Hi Ron,

But as you state some situations require immediate action. Sunday evening I waited too long to react to an overbooking situation with SouthWest Airlines and ended up not getting on the flight without an option to get on another flight. Flights for the next day on SW Airlines and on other airlines were also overbooked making it look like I would not get out until late the next day. Compensation for my inconvenience was far too little and has made me not want to fly on SW Airlines any more. I am now telling anyone I meet about my negative experience with SouthWest Airlines.
