Don't understand how the pax could appreciate a divert to SEA rather than making it to their destination, or somewhere close that they could then get to their destination in short order.
Does that include the time the jet diverted, and no one told the pax in JNU? From what I understand, no one showed up to work the DAL counter because the flight was cnx'd, but all the pax showed up ... So AS CSAs did what they do so well, and put many of them on our flights.
Also heard the pax on that flight were on their own back in SEA, i.e., no hotel room because of the wx divert.
