Here's a thought that will make you spit the Kool-Aid right out of your mouth:
You've never heard a passenger complain about a 737 at Alaska Airlines, because passengers who don't like flying on 737s ... don't fly on Alaska.
There's a whole market of discriminating passengers that will avoid a guppy, an RJ, a 5am departure, or First Class seat on a 6 hour transcon without a foot rest. And you'll never meet a single one.
So your observations about an uncaring traveler might be true, but you're not seeing the whole market.
