My first impression was that this is another issue of the growing entitlement mentality. But I'm just want to clarify something.
SkyWest really "deadheads" their crews on Midwest? Not just commuters? Well, I'd say that is SkyWest problem to get their crews to the right places for the flights or have a very good reserve program in place. SkyWest is the hired help. Take off or don't get paid. Seems like it's Midwest's business to get people to pay and sit in those seats (or move YX crews around).
Do they help with the belts? Every Midwest employee always helped us out, and I always returned to favor. I do miss it.
Excellent point, thanks for making my point, yes, they dead head their crews on us, even when they were commuting they were issued dead head passes and they kicked revenue passengers and our own commuting guys.
Do they help with seat belt? are you kidding me, the only guys who help us clean are our own, Skyway and Jetblue guys.
