In this episode of the Customer Service Revolution podcast, John DiJulius and Denise Thompson explore the critical aspects of customer experience, emphasizing the importance of value over price, the role of personalization, and the need for businesses to create a culture of service excellence. They discuss various case studies, including airlines and Starbucks, to illustrate how customer service can make or break a brand. The conversation highlights the significance of making customers feel important and the impact of training and culture on employee performance. Takeaways Elective medical services prioritize patient experience due to competition on value. Competing on price can lead to poor customer outcomes, especially in critical services. Spirit Airlines poor customer service practices. Southwest Airlines maintains a strong service culture despite industry challenges. Starbucks has faced challenges in maintaining its customer experience focus post-pandemic. Speed of service should not compromise the quality of customer interactions. Creating a culture of service excellence can dramatically improve customer experience. Every customer interaction is an opportunity to seize the moment and enhance experience. Personalization in communication is key to customer satisfaction. Listening with your eyes and making customers feel important is essential for service excellence.

Today on the Matt Walsh Show, the airline that just flipped upside down on a runway in Toronto has been obsessed with DEI for many years. They seem to have been more focused on “girl power” than on keeping their planes in the sky. Also, the Trump administration might ban food stamp recipients from using taxpayer money to buy junk food. Why isn't that already the policy? The mayor of Los Angeles says she needs to investigate to figure out why she decided to leave for Africa right before the wildfires broke out. And a new debate is raging on social media: is it sexist for a dad to take just his son on a guy's trip? The internet says yes. And the internet is wrong again.

2024 was marked by a series of unprecedented, and in some cases fatal, airplane incidents that captured headlines around the world. Despite these incidents, the International Air Transport Association predicts strong growth for air transport in 2025, with US$36.6 billion in net profits, driven by lower fuel costs and efficiency gains. However, supply chain disruptions, aging fleets, and geopolitical issues remain major challenges. On this episode of Morning Shot, Brendan Sobie, Analyst & Founder of Sobie Aviation shares his insights.

After an up-and-down 2024 for the U.S. airlines industry, our Freight Transportation & Airlines Analyst Ravi Shanker explains why he is bullish about the sector's trajectory over the next year.----- Transcript -----Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Ravi Shanker, Morgan Stanley's Freight Transportation and Airlines analyst. Today I'll discuss why we remain bullish on the US Airlines industry for 2025.It's Friday, December 13, at 10am in New York.The Airline industry entered 2024 with good momentum, lost it during the middle of the year with some concerns around the economy and capacity, but then turned it around in the fall to finish the year with the strongest run that the Airlines have had since the pandemic. The coast looks clear for 2025, and we remain bullish on the US Airlines for next year.While many airline stocks enter 2025 close to post-pandemic if not all-time highs, valuations are still attractive enough across the space to see upside across the industry. The big question right now is: will the focus on premium services continue to pay off, or will there be a resurgence in domestic travel that alters the market dynamics? We think the answer is both.Premium beneficiaries will continue to shine in 2025. We believe the premiumization trend in the industry is structural and will continue next year. Legacy carriers have successfully capitalized on this trend, enhancing their revenue streams significantly through upgraded service offerings such as premium seating and lounge access. This move isn't just about luxury—it's a calculated play to boost ancillary revenues, which are becoming a more critical component of financial stability in the airline industry. The premium leaders are building annuity-like business models – think razorblades, printers or smartphones – where the sale of a popular gateway product is followed by the bulk of the profitability coming from ancillary revenues generated in the following years, as loyalty and adjacent revenues contribute a steady stream of earnings and free cash flow to the airlines.On the flip side, the conversation around better margins on domestic travel is gaining momentum as well. 2024 saw a big shift where several domestic carriers made significant changes and even in some cases fundamentally overhauled their business models to fly less, fly differently, bundle fares, and move upmarket. This change brought significant disruption in 2024 but could be set to pay dividends in 2025 and reignite investor interest in these domestic names. This shift toward domestic travel could potentially redistribute market share and redefine competitive dynamics within the entire Airlines industry.To sum up, the setup for 2025 looks very good. But volatility could remain high due to external factors. The biggest risk into 2025 -- especially the second half of [20]25 -- continues to be the macro backdrop. More specifically, our economists' view of a sharply slowing GDP growth and services spending environment in the second half of [20]25 and into [20]26. While we take comfort from the resilience of travel spending so far, we know that things could change quickly. We will continue to keep you updated throughout the next year.Thanks for listening.

The airline industry is renowned for its safety, but the pandemic threw a curveball into the mix. The world was forced to grapple with new realities of travel, and even though it was a challenge, it also presented new opportunities that the industry can go after. Fleet flexibility, operational efficiency, and paying attention to demographic shifts—these are some ways the industry can adapt and pivot. Airlines have been forced to reimagine their models and rethink how they deliver value to customers, while balancing cost structures and new health and safety protocols. Former Spirit Airlines CEO, Ben Baldanza, joined me on the show back in 2021 to discuss these critical changes in the aviation industry. He shared his insights on how airlines could navigate the turbulent times ahead, emphasizing the importance of adapting to shifting travel demands, especially as corporate business travel declined and more passengers prioritized low-cost options. In sad news, Ben passed away recently, and I wanted to take this moment to remember him and the tremendous impact he made on the aviation industry. This episode is a special replay of my conversation with Ben. Ben is known for his visionary leadership at Spirit, candid commentary on the future of air travel, and his unwavering commitment to making the industry more accessible and efficient for all travelers. His legacy continues to shape the industry, and we are grateful for the lasting mark he left on it. The idea is to make flying touchless, with less time spent face to face. The virus will end at some point, but the sense of risk has changed completely. -Ben Baldanza Three Things You'll Learn In This Episode Why the future of flying is touch-free 5 years from now touchless check-ins and minimal personal contact will be a norm and will be worthy investments. What the pandemic means for bigger planes It could take a couple of years to build back demand. Smaller, narrow-body aircraft such as the Boeing 737 Max, Airbus A320s, and A321s will have an advantage. How aviation has prioritized safety since the start of the virus From the onset of the coronavirus, the aviation industry has done its part in visible safety precautions, from mask mandates to putting up shields at airports. As an industry, we've shown an operational AND biological commitment to safety. Guest Bio - Ben Baldanza was an industry veteran. Previously the CEO and President of Spirit Airlines, and then he served as the CEO for Diemacher, LLC, and was an Independent Board Director at JetBlue Airways. Ben was also a Forbes Contributor, co-host of the Airlines Confidential Podcast, and was featured on multiple platforms including Fox Business News, The Today Show, and CNBC.

The days of having your flight delayed by fog could soon be over. Every year, the airline industry loses a collective $13 billion as flights are delayed or cancelled due to foggy conditions. Pyper Vision is aiming to solve this problem, with new technology that predicts fog and prevents delays. Founder Emily Blythe told Mike Hosking that they've built an initial model that can predict fog more accurately than traditional models, although they it still has a way to go in terms of lifting performance. She says they've teamed up with a team at Attentive Technologies to collect the data sets they need to improve accuracy. Blythe says it should be making an impact for the public in early 2026.

Spirit and JetBlue on March 4 ended their merger plans, saying that regulatory obstacles won't permit the airlines to close the deal in a timely fashion. But before the news broke, we'd recorded an episode with aviation editor Robert Silk and antitrust lawyer Scott Wagner to talk about antitrust law and the past, present and -- what we thought -- might be the future of the deal.
