Again with this same demographic causing chaos in Ft. Lauderdale. Maybe these folks left that party after tossing in the 68-year-old white woman into the pool and decided to take the fun to the nearby airport?

Some pilots are up in hours and age and can’t just jump and start over basically as an F/O and at the bottom of the seniority ladder.
I don’t get it.
Flights are cancelled all the time. Maybe not multiples (barring weather), but happens alot.
Why suddenly are people going nuts and acting like bratty children with this one?
(PS: saw a bit of film, and my suspicions are looking correct; but I still don’t understand why now and not other times?)
They felt entitled to punch-a-cop because their flight was stopped? Geee, hope the courts nail em and I guess they won’t be catching the make-up-flight. Great forward thinking there.
“Doing this shows no regard for the customers”
That’s what unions are all about.
Selfishness.
Spirit looks amazing on paper when you see the initial price. Then they charge you for everything except the air you breathe on the flight itself.
I’m fairly certain that the only airline that has the first clue what it is doing is Southwest. And even they treat passengers like cattle when boarding.
I know an experienced airline captain who lost his job some years back. He flew jet charters for awhile. Then he commuted to South America to be an airline captain again. Then he commuted to Alaska to fly cargo out of there. Now he flies cargo on 747’s and he’s based close to home. That’s the life of a pilot.
Those who fly for Spirit know they are flying for a bottom of the barrel low cost airline. If they want a career there then they’ll have to put up with crap. They can move on and end up better with some sacrifice.
I’m building my hours with Frontier but then I also gain seniority. I’d hate to move and start over. I’m working up to captain some day.
If you worked with the American public at large you too would have a big hard on for the human race! Just think, statistically half of them are democrats!
..or ride the rails on Amtrash errr Amtrak
