Ever hear the expression "shoot the messenger"? When airlines create an environment when you can't call anyone, you can't talk to anyone, and treat you like a number with a wallet, you're going to reap what you sow. Flying can be pretty frustrating to the layman that only does it once a year, so when you get nailed with "surcharges" and someone loses their mind over it I don't feel sorry for the airline employees.
Should we all spare them the grief because "Corporate" came up with these ridiculous rules, and it's not their responsibility? Because to me that's a poor excuse.
Besides, at Westjet, "we're all owners"  |
Well here's the thing: that guy you berate on the front-lines didn't sow anything. He just happens to work for the airline and has to comply with their policies or find himself out of work.
