But when you look at some of the bad customer service we've experienced (necessitating today's announcement of sending all the CSA's to "charm school"), I think it can be chalked up to a lack of motivation mainly caused by frustration with being spread too thin and paid too little. Someone else said, "it's all about the benjamins." Well, yes it is. And that's a concept our management needs to embrace if they truly want to have world-class customer service.
DAL88, you have a valid point, but the reality is no matter what you pay someone, they need to care. Money can fake compassion, but only so far.

Edit: You also make a valid point about gate and ticket counter staffing. I have seen one agent try to work a delayed WB, and I really felt for them. It was a no win for them, but they did they best they could.
