You are dealing with your overlords here. Maybe listen and learn rather than commenting?

Crew schedules are highly regulated -- time on/off -- as I've learned from a good friend who's an AA pilot, and whose wife is an AA flight attendant.

Then they would have to find another available crew member or find another volunteer or risk grounding the next flight. Regardless it's an United Airlines problem of poor workforce management and that is NOT a paying customer's problem. An airline company that has been in operation for more than 30+ years has to resort to denying a paying customer the service that he's paid for with VIOLENCE to resolve internal fuck-up's is beyond disgusting.

WHO am I trying to impress? A bunch of strangers that I don't know anything about?

Pretended feeling - Maybe you are just writing pretending to be whatever. I am genuinely concerned and pissed that this is the shit that we are living with everyday now and there is no any other alternatives.

Maybe you need to fix your mic. instead of having it drop all the time. LOL

It is all falderal, and comes down to one thing...

I am your customer.

"Dear Company,

I am your customer. Satisfy my wants with personal attention and a friendly touch and I will become a walking advertisement for your products and services. Ignore my wants, show carelessness, inattention, or poor manners, and I will simply cease to exist as far as you are concerned.

I am sophisticated. Much more than I was a few years ago, my needs are more complex. I have grown accustomed to better things. I have money to spend, I am sensitive, and I am proud. My ego needs the nourishment of a friendly, personal greeting from you. It is important to me that you appreciated my business. After all, when I buy your products and services, my money is feeding you and your family.

I am a perfectionist. I want the best I can get for the money I spend. When I criticize your products or your service take heed because I will tell anyone who will listen that I am dissatisfied. The source of my discontent lays in something you, or what you sold me, failed to do. Figure out what that was and fix it or you will also lose my friends as customers.

I am fickle. Other businesses continually entice me with offers of “more” for my money. To keep my business you must provide something better than they do. Though I am your customer now, you must prove to me again-and-again that I made the right choice in deciding to do business with you above all others.

Your Customer."

*mic drop*

How about just giving me the product/service that I have paid for?

Lol JSOP, that mic drop was a compliment to your response.

Ah HAAH! See? Very smart! Give away the free salty snacks and then charge for the drinks. The ROI on giving away salty snacks but charging for extra beverages brings more money into the till.

You know once you pass security, you can buy water and drinks from those shops and take them with you onto the planes right? You don't really have to buy drinks from them? And what if you just want water? After all water is still the BEST beverage to quench thirst. JetBlue charges for plain water too?

Just curious. After this one, I am DEFINITELY flying JetBlue, an airline that AT LEAST claims that they don't overbook.

And guess what? If you owe taxes to IRS, you maybe able to fly JetBlue for FREE.
