The Envoy breakroom at Redmond Municipal Airport (RDM) is so small it can fit inside an overhead bin. Okay, maybe not that small, but it\u2019s definitely an intimate <\/em>space.<\/p>\n

However tight a fit it may be, the RDM team has embraced it as a means to bring them closer together \u2013 figuratively and literally. In such close quarters, the jokes are funnier, the laughs are heartier, the bonds are stronger; and it\u2019s a big reason why they\u2019ve achieved such success this year.<\/p>\n

For the second time in 2018, the RDM team won the American Airlines Customer Cup, which awards stations for outstanding performance and customer service. If you ask any agent in RDM about their recipe for success, they\u2019ll tell you the main ingredient is confidence.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re a small crew that have worked together for over a year,\u201d said Station Agent Dakota Weeda. \u201cWe have two fantastic leads that keep the group glued together. Eventually, we got into a groove with the flight schedule we have, and everyone is on the same page.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dakota, who owns a dance studio and also wants to become a pilot, has been with Envoy at RDM since July 2017. Since then, Envoy has handled two flight turns a day coming and going from Los Angeles and Phoenix.<\/p>\n

Up to the challenge<\/h3>\n

However, RDM will begin servicing a third flight on the Embraer 175 in the near future. The newly appointed general manager, Stephanie Marvel, said she\u2019s excited to begin training her team on the aircraft.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s my goal to have every agent trained to be cross-functional, meaning they work in the terminal and on the ramp,\u201d said Stephanie. \u201cSince I started nine months ago, I\u2019ve felt really welcomed by this team. They\u2019re like a little, self-sufficient family that can run this airport by themselves. I\u2019m so happy to be here!\u201d<\/p>\n

With more flights on their plate, there\u2019s no doubt that Team RDM is up to the challenge. Station Agent Lynn Rairigh, a former nursing assistant, said she expects great things in the future including more Customer Cup wins.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe know we can win more,\u201d said Lynn. \u201cWe work together well because we communicate and realize that it takes more than one person \u2013 you need a team.\u201d<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s to Team RDM, their hard-working efforts and their incredible confidence to be the best of the best!<\/p>\n
