YES! I did just that! I went to Costco and bought enough $5 Starbucks gift cards to give to every FA, ground crew, ops agent, and the commute crew for a three day trip. My wife wrapped them and put a nice Christmas message on the sticker. Bought a gift card for a night at the movies for the FO and his wife. Plan on buying a lot of drinks and a few meals this week if the crew is willing to come down.
Now for the Grinch story…
Since I commute, I put my first two legs of this trip in giveaway. If they went, I would commute to Denver instead and get an extra night at home. No takers so I went to the airport and boarded a flight to my domicile.
I committed the cardinal sin and forgot to delete the giveaway request before commuting. When I landed, the first text I got was those first two legs being cancelled.
I pulled up my board and they were gone. I immediately realized what I had done. (Face palm!)
Found the guy who took them and sent him a text to see if he would be willing to restore them because commuting to DEN in the morning now is going to be pretty tough.
But, at the end of the day it was my fault for forgetting. I learned a rookie commuter lesson.

You guys make me proud to work here. My day in the left seat will come. When it does, I will follow your lead. Y’all are class acts!

People like zap are what makes this company great to work for, not the middle and upper management who have fallen out of touch with us on the frontlines.

Our management needs to read more stories like this! They need to understand who's out on the line busting their ass to make things happen when there's a meltdown and we are getting zero support from the top that failed us. Instead they are warm and cozy at home and going to holiday parties while the frontline workers are embracing the suck with good attitudes.

management counts on it as a cost free (to them) benefit to them
