Customer Relations Manager:

Good afternoon, this is [Name], the Customer Relations Manager at Alpha


Airlines. May I speak with the Sports Director, please?

Sports Director:

Hello, this is [Name]. How can I help you today?

Customer Relations Manager:

Thank you for taking my call. I wanted to discuss a concerning issue regarding
the behavior of some of your sports teams on our flights.

Sports Director:

Oh? I’m not sure what you mean. The students are young and full of energy.
They enjoy celebrating their victories.

Customer Relations Manager:

I understand that, and I appreciate their enthusiasm. However, during the last
flight from Moscow, their behavior crossed the line. They were throwing drinks
and food, which upset other passengers and made it difficult for our flight
attendants to provide service.

Sports Director:

I see your point, but they are just having a good time. It’s not unusual for young
people to make some noise and enjoy themselves after a game.

Customer Relations Manager:

While I agree that a certain level of excitement is expected, we must also ensure
the safety and comfort of all our passengers. The incidents are harming the
image of Alpha Airlines. We value your university as a customer and want to
maintain a positive relationship.

Sports Director:

I understand that. I do appreciate Alpha Airlines' support of our teams. I’ll have a
talk with the students and remind them about appropriate behavior while
traveling.

Customer Relations Manager:

That would be greatly appreciated. Perhaps you could also consider


implementing a code of conduct for your teams when flying with us. It would go
a long way in ensuring a positive experience for everyone involved.
Sports Director:

That’s a fair suggestion. I’ll discuss it with the coaches and ensure we set clear
expectations moving forward. I want to make sure we maintain our good
relationship with Alpha Airlines.

Customer Relations Manager:

Thank you for your understanding. We appreciate your cooperation in addressing


this issue. I’m confident that together we can ensure a more pleasant travel
experience for everyone.

Sports Director:

Absolutely! Thank you for bringing this to my attention. We’ll work on it right
away.

Customer Relations Manager:

Thank you, and have a great day!
