Flight attendant never showed up; flight doesn't take off
This was a new one for me: Spirit Airlines started boarding passengers this morning for the 6:40am flight from LGA-FLL. After a few minutes, gate crew made passengers get off the plane. Reason? A flight attendant didn't show up for work; they couldn't locate another one at LGA; and they had to find someone to come into work. Takeoff was delayed for hours.
Keep in mind passengers probably woke up at 4 or 5AM to make this early flight.
Even for a low-cost carrier, I thought this was unbelievably sloppy. I ended up going home instead of waiting hours in a crowded terminal.
