WHY DID THIS COMPANY NOT PROVIDE ME WITH FREE TRANSPORTATION

That's just crazy. They have completely failed their customers and employees. Any airline can and will have a meltdown. I've experienced my fair share and have been abandoned out of base with no hotel room on more than one occasion. But I just can't wrap my head around the scale of this debacle.

Not hard:
1. Perpetually understaffed airline that is always reliant upon employees picking up voluntary overtime
2. Pissed off employee groups due to change in CULTure and protracted contract negotiations
3. Point-to-point route network
4. Bad weather

While we are at it, I JS on Spirit a lot. For the first time ever as a pilot jumpseater, I got charged $4 for a coffee. Normally they give one drink free. A joke of “any crew discount?” was met with “only if you have a Spirit credit card.” Of course I ponied up. But she had a DGAF attitude for a fellow crew member.
Another example, I still have my VX bag. A FA told me wow you still have that? If I had that, I’d be written up. I asked by who? She said by a legacy FA.
Speech less.

My anecdotal knowledge is better than yours. When I ride spirit, I’m frequently treated better by their FAs than I am by the FAs when I’m on my own metal.

It’s about taking care of your own crew. But thank you for reaffirming my decision to slam click.

Meh, all I read about is people online trashing flight benefits but they usually worked out very well for me. Plus with Precheck + clear + mobile boarding passes I just show up at boarding time if the flights open and it's so low hassle plus usually get a good seat. Since I fly for leisure I just don't fly usually if loads are iffy, different if you commute of course.
Southwest let's you "ride 4th" so without KCM first come first serve you get on the flight regardless of loads. With my various airline experience, WN crews were the coolest I ever worked with. So raunchy and informal, really felt like a team vs "us and them" at other airlines. SkyWest SFO we had to stay until the AM crew got in all the time when I worked ramp/cs. That's airline life. I also traveled 2-4 times per month on leisure trips, rented cars at 18, and saw most of the country. Even for $10/hr in 2008 it was all worth it. Depends on the person but my life is always so incredibly stressful because of my addiction to crazy women that even the worst days of airline customer service still beat my personal life LOL. I love chaos. Southwest at least puts their money where their mouth is, a LOT of people making $20/hr or less get 6 figures.
