I agree. I also think it's getting tougher to hire the kinds of folks they want to hire. The Gen X, Y, and Z people in general are a tough group to root through to find the kinds of candidates they are looking for.
Always enjoyed the courtesy and kindness of SWA pilots accommodating me on the jump seat and/or with a seat in the back.
Gate agents and FA's do get a bit snippy, but not bad really. I just ignore the mean ones.
A plug here for AA. I had a Captain come out of the cockpit and apologize he didn't have a first class seat for me when I was JSing and I ended up in Coach. heck, I was just glad to have a seat in the back. However, he had to manage the Stew's. I could tell his FA's were a bit cantankerous. AA FA's seem to be a bit tired and worn out.
