Very small thing to “complain” about, especially because I still got a seat in the back. The first two times I said nothing. This time, I brought it up, and as expected, the agent couldn’t have cared less and essentially ignored me.
This has to be a common issue. What gives?
Unfortunately, these hAAte agents are country wide. They are not doing this to just Compass, but Republic as well and likely all of the AAC carriers. USAir stations seem to be better with treating the AAC carriers with respect and honoring their flight privileges.
Unfortunately unless an AAC vs AA jumpseat war breaks out and AA pilot's start standing up for the non wholly owned pilot's who support their carrier and support their profitability, it's likely never going to change.
