Given what most airline employees get paid be prepared to enjoy even crappier service with even less caring attitudes. Every person I know who works for the airlines does it because of the travel benefits and not because its a good paying job. Some of the folks I know would make more money flipping burgers at the local burger joint than they do with the airlines but keep working their job because of the flight benefits.
