They're all stuck trying to get seats on one TED flight from FLL to IAD per day and a couple of Express ERJs from MIA to IAD, so they basically hate life.
I talk to them all the time and it's funny that they all hate TED as much as we do, and they all want more flights into MIA-FLL-WPB.
Agree - been doing a lot of flying on Wednesday's 615 pm ORD-MIA flight - see tons of UA FA's in uniform. BTW it is complete crap that UA's last flight out of MIA is 330 pm - I've had to fly home on AA four times in a row (they have departures up to 850 pm)!
