I was a passenger on a Mesa UA express flight today out of Dulles. What a poor experience it was:
1)12:22 out of A swithced at last minute to 1:20 out of C concourse.
2)Flight boards at 1200 leaving paz behind until they scream to get on board.
3)Flight attendent brand new.Reads all announcements off a classroom handout with back to pax. 3rd graders could have done better. Very unprofessional.
4) We wait for fuel -20 additional mins after sched dept.
5)2 people have to move from front to back for Weight and Balance THEN they put 450lbs ballast in aft baggage because they LEAVE ALL PASSENGER BAGS behind because they will not wiat for them to come over from concourse A!
6) FO is on IOE (initial operating experince) flight.
What a joke.
Our new company policy will be: NO MORE REGIONALS. No wonder business aviation is growing!

BWAHAHAHA!
Ok, ok: Delta mainline pushed 2 hours late the other day for many of the same reasons quoted here. Get over it dude... happens all the time.
WHAT I DON'T GET is this: you'd probably expect the pilots/FA to save the day were the s%t to hit the fan, and afterward probably stab them in the back when you hear of them trying to better their lot in life. I can hear your comments now: "Dang pilots, spoiled rotten underworked and overpaid." You'd probably think the same of a doctor removing some fetid lump in your brain.
Can it get any worse: passengers complain over the stupidest junk, whine and moan when flights are delayed for whatever reason (especially when it is not the flight crew's fault) abuse the FA because the drink or whatever is unsuitable; yet when it comes time to ponying over some dough to pay for the services we provide guess what? MORE MF COMPLAINING. You F-Tard. Find some humility and humanity for the poor bastards that are busting hump to get you from point A to B. Peace out.

Actually, to answer the OP's statement - yes, it actually can get worse...much, much worse. AA 191 at O'Hare was worse. DAL 191 at DFW was worse (and btw - flights need to stop being "191" - If I am ever scheduled on a flight 191 I will not go). Pan Am flight 1736 was probably much worse. So, put in this perspective, your traumatic experience on Mesa doesn't seem quite so bad.
