To be fair to the stations, there are some great ones, some ok ones, and some outright terrible ones. Being contract vs direct G4 employees doesn't seem to make a big difference. In general those stations with experienced employees are at least decent, but it is hard to have experienced employees when the pay is terrible, the schedule unpredictable, and the flight benefits almost worthless.

Also, it doesn't help that the OCC staff don't tell them anything. Hell, I don't think the OCC staff talk amongst themselves. Sometimes you have mx control saying one thing, crew scheduling saying another, and whoever stations talk to saying start boarding now.
