I hope FLYi stays around....

The one troubling thing with iAir is the seemingly endless state of being disorganized. The gate areas often look like a warzone.

The gate attendants all seem endlessly flustered, and their customer service skills, quite frankly, stink.

As I fly the same flights regularly, I see the same staffing issues week after week, after week. It never changes....

I'd love iAir to last--namely because the flights are cheap--and as an owner of a small business that helps me tremendously. But, they need to show some improvement, and they just haven't.

I've contacted customer service many times, and they just give me lip service--and aren't even good at that, to be honest.

Between the lack of improvement and the fear of them running out of money, and stranding me someplace, I have begun looking to other airlines for bookings in the next few months.

Maybe I'll try them again, but they really need to improve.
They have almost single-handedly reduced the prices for flights out of IAD to BOS. Since I'll be commuting to BOS each week for school on my own dime this fall, I really need for these guys to stick it out.

Maybe they'll end up in perpetual CH.11 like UA. But I wish them the best.
