DP once held a position of status rep. After allegations of strong arming MEC mandates he was run out of office after a single term. ( I repeat ...allegations...)

Now he works in the shadows of the spirit board steering opinion where unsuspecting members were forced to post without anonymity and the protections we have on this board.

 

I'm I alone in thinking that if the brain-trust had the votes, we'd be voting by now?

 

NK got a mention on the Nightly Show. Make sure you check your motherf*#@in' plane for motherf*#@in' snakes before you start your next 4 day.

So annoying, at the hotel the other day Im talking to a lady and she said she would love our low fares but is "afraid to fly spirit". The negative crap in the media and being the butt of everyone's joke is annoying, especially if ignorant people just assume we are dangerous because we are low cost

 

Not to mention that as a comic, or anyone in the media, making Spirit Airlines your punchline is so unoriginal.

 

Unfortunately the b...ching just never ends. Last summer after I had to commute in the night before I walked from my ghetto commuter hotel over to the Westin to eat something decent for dinner. The place was slow so I sat down at the bar. Only 5-6 patrons but they had a "Spirited" conversation. "efff Spirit" every second sentence. They were all drinking course. I felt ashamed and upset. The best part was when the bar tender joined in too. "Ohhh and they stay here. We hate them... they abuse their discount". That ****ed me off to the point that I almost asked for her manager. But she was a typical dumb obese cu... Instead of working myself up even more I just decided to take it to go and left. Her face turned pale when I showed her my ID and asked for my discount.

 

^ hahah nice. I'm at the point where I just assume people are Fng stupid if they don't fly us. I understand we don't go to Europe etc, but if you travel domestically, I don't understand why you would pay more for the same Sh-t.........

The lady literally kept saying, "yeah but Delta gives me free drinks" and she didn't believe we had "new airplanes". I dunno, just aggravating.......

 

I'm embarrassed by the low class embarrassments we have at our hotels, and I'm talking about our own crews.

Want to change the image?? Stop being a cheap MF on overnights. The reason why hotel crews hate us? Cheap bastards.

CAs that won't break a buck out for the van driver. I am still amazed when I see this, seriously?!?! I see some hand a handful of lose change over. You know you're on a 4 day, get some singles or bum one from the other pilot and get him back on the next tipping round.

Tipping poorly is 1 thing, tipping poorly on the meal amount AFTER the discount is even worse.

I was thinking that most of this was from FAs, who are overall the worse with the above mentioned issues along with "I need a fridge" mania at the checkin desk, but as we stay at different hotels more and more now, seems to be a pilot issue too.

We can't do much to change the public image of the company outside of doing our job in a safe manner, but we can control how hotels view us. Don't want to be "those guys," so don't be those guys.
