The passengers you speak of aren't here because of any sort of customer service. Generally speaking, these are not the type of savvy passengers that devote loyalty to a particular airline. They are here because the seats are cheap. Period. End of story. The management doesn't even care to provide a reasonable level of customer service. Have you ever seen them deal with a family and a lost unaccompanied minor??? I have, twice, and they act as though they couldn't give a damn. They get their money and then they forget about the passenger. That's not customer service. And if you believe that you're gonna make a difference, good for you. But what you may actually be doing is undermining what the pilots are trying to accomplish. To stand unified and get a contract they deserve. This is my 3rd airline and my 1st didn't have a contract. So I've been there. You're paid to fly an airplane. You are underpaid to do so. You should feel foolish sitting in the right seat of an aircraft flying 230 passengers and earning less than $40/hour to do so. I applaud your enthusiasm but pity your lack of ability to understand the reality of what we are dealing with. Mic dropped....

Already seen it beforeThe passengers you speak of aren't here because of any sort of customer service. Generally speaking, these are not the type of savvy passengers that devote loyalty to a particular airline. They are here because the seats are cheap. Period. End of story. Got it. I get that and already know that.The management doesn't even care to provide a reasonable level of customer service. Have you ever seen them deal with a family and a lost unaccompanied minor???

And if you believe that you're gonna make a difference, good for you. But what you may actually be doing is undermining what the pilots are trying to accomplish. Giving good day to day customer service to your pax has nothing to do with undermining the pilot group. Are we under some sort of job action?To stand unified and get a contract they deserve. This is my 3rd airline and my 1st didn't have a contract. So I've been there. This is my 5th, 3rd round of negotiations, including two with no contract.You're paid to fly an airplane. You are underpaid to do so. That'll change, we are in contract negotiations now.

Would you still be happily delivering "customer service" if this contract takes say 5 years?
