I treat my (the company's) customers with respect, not insults. Maybe you should too.
Sorry, they are stupid. They have not paid for any raise I've had since before 9/11. I "paid" for their tickets by taking paycuts to give them cheaper tickets. They still are not happy and want to fly on outsourced airlines to save a buck.
Fine, if they want to save a buck, then fly on Colgan to Buffalo.
Fine, if they don't want to be late three hours by air, then they can drive or walk. The airline will cancel before paying $27,000 per passenger.
It doesn't take much per ticket to get pilot pay where it should be, but the passengers want greyhound service in the air instead of a professional airline. I'll be happy to give them what they deserve.
