Let me clarify, I go out of my way for non-rev's and wouldn't delay a flight just for a non-rev's connection, showing up to the gate late, etc. BUT, if there's a gate agent that isn't doing their job, I'm not leaving until we can take everybody we can take. Period.
You think commuting is a benefit?

Haha captain tells me "go in the box and put in a push delay.. For reason put 'waited for commuter. Sue us.'"

I respect your opinion but I truly believe Spirit has proven you wrong. They cattle car and nickle and dime the passenger but they are at a 10%+ profit margin. Remember the outrage over them charging for overhead space? Bookings increased that month due to the news coverage. They don't deny the poor treatment but instead flaunt the price. People care about price and nothing else right now. Inconvenient, delayed, and a constant hassle is the New norm. They can schedule 10 more arrivals than the tower can handle per hour and we can hold a plane for a peer.

A captain that knowingly leaves behind commuters is spineless and selfish. Grow a pair or stay in the right seat. Making decisions that might get questioned through an ACARS message is part of the job. There are a million and one excuses for a 5 minute delay. Pick one and type away. The person you did it for will be very grateful.
