The whole concept of the pilot seeing to the pax needs also comes back to compensation. If I am making typical "135" pay, I really don't feel I should owe the pax any more than basic amenities like a clean stocked airplane and I will load the bags etc. In that situation, I won't really respect my employer or care about the success of the company since I will be always looking for another job. If I am making industry leading pay, schedule and bene's (see NetJets), it gets a lot easier to care about passenger comfort, since they are the key to my company continuing to pay my good wages. Suddenly, my company is the gold standard of the industry and every multi-million+ net worth individual wants to brag at the country club that they are a (insert your company here) card member. Currently, guess who the prestige private aircraft provider is? (NetJets)
