That is why I don't understand how the rank and file airline employee continue to consume the bs sandwich the industry continues to serve. My brother (the former station manager now doing govt charters) was with me in ATL. We had a mini family reunion in FT. Laurderdale. He had flown out of Miami but had the same missed connecting. I asked him as the gate agent/supervisor where threatening arrest to the gate crashers, "how much does a gate agent make?". He said, "Eight to ten bucks, part time".
I still can't believe it. Why would they even bother to defend an industry that puts them on the frontlines with nothing and pays them like sh#t?
I will never speak crossly to a gate agent. It ain't their fault.
