In fact, knowing the airline no longer served free meals, he had packed his own lunch for the second leg of his flight from Dallas to Honolulu. But he said he was shocked at the lack of basic services and the overall

19、condition of the cabin.67.His return flight was just as disappointing. This time the audio for the movie worked-but only in Spanish-and his seat refused to stay in the upright position. "I was just appalled," Mr. Fesler said. "You pay $ 500 or $ 600 for a seat, and you expect it to be

21、ealized that they really don't have to cater to economy passengers-most of whom are booking on price alone, and who in- creasingly have no real airline loyalty-because the cost of doing so would never be worth it in pure bottom-line terms.69.While Mr. Baldanza may regret the manner in which his

22、e-mail statement was delivered, his position hasn't changed. "The point that I was making in that e-mail, maybe not as politically cor- rectly as I should have, is let's not over-obsess or spend a lot of money dealing with customers with completely unrealistic expectations," he sai

35、班上不再免費(fèi)提供工作餐。在從達(dá)拉斯到檀香山的第二站里，他為自己打包了午餐。但是他說(shuō)，那些基本服務(wù)的缺乏和客艙的整體狀況讓他震驚。67 該航班的電影音響壞了。顯示洗手問(wèn)被占用的燈光很古怪，這會(huì)造成混亂。有時(shí)候，會(huì)讓想用洗手間的乘客等很久。雖然食物可以買(mǎi)得到，但是通常會(huì)在機(jī)艙乘客買(mǎi)到食物之前就一搶而空了。只留下一小部分乘客眼巴巴的看著他已經(jīng)打包的小吃。他的返航也是令人失望的。這次電影音響開(kāi)始工作了，但是說(shuō)的卻是西班牙語(yǔ)。他的座位開(kāi)始東倒西歪。費(fèi)思樂(lè)先生說(shuō)：“這讓我很吃驚，你為一個(gè)座位花費(fèi)了500到600美元，你肯定希望它能正常工作?！彼f(shuō)他會(huì)考慮拒絕搭乘服務(wù)如此惡劣的航班。并且他補(bǔ)充道，

36、那些讓你發(fā)瘋的航班，會(huì)使你不想再去這個(gè)國(guó)家的任何地方。68.  不是只有費(fèi)思樂(lè)先生反感這些航班，一些憤怒的乘客會(huì)在如：flyertalkcom，airlineragetom和flightsfromhellcom網(wǎng)站上發(fā)貼留言，當(dāng)人們讀到這些信息時(shí)也會(huì)反感。在航班幾乎滿艙的現(xiàn)今，航空公司已經(jīng)意識(shí)到，他們沒(méi)有必要去迎合經(jīng)濟(jì)艙乘客的要求(他們大多數(shù)人都是看價(jià)格訂票，并且他們?cè)絹?lái)越?jīng)]有真正的航線忠誠(chéng)度)，因?yàn)樽鲞@件事的成本將永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)是值得堅(jiān)守的底線。  69，  這聽(tīng)起來(lái)刺耳?但今年夏天當(dāng)咄咄逼人的大牌斯普瑞特航空公司的首席執(zhí)行官B·

37、;本·巴爾丹扎在點(diǎn)擊回復(fù)“全部回復(fù)”的郵件時(shí)，回復(fù)了一位希望得到補(bǔ)償乘客的郵件，該乘客由于航班延機(jī)而錯(cuò)過(guò)一場(chǎng)音樂(lè)會(huì)，由此我們可以看出航空公司的管理人員無(wú)視乘客要求，這有點(diǎn)出乎意料卻也在意料之中。巴爾丹扎先生的回應(yīng)似乎僅針對(duì)Spirit航空公訇的員工，但其后出現(xiàn)在了旅游博客上，上面這樣說(shuō)道：“請(qǐng)回答，帕斯夸菜，對(duì)于我來(lái)說(shuō)，我們不欠他什么，讓他告訴世界，我們是多么糟糕。他以前從不坐我們的航班，但當(dāng)我們?yōu)樗∠乱槐闶康臅r(shí)候，他就會(huì)回來(lái)。”當(dāng)巴爾丹扎先生可能后悔他的郵件發(fā)送方式時(shí)，他的立場(chǎng)并沒(méi)改變?！拔以卩]件里說(shuō)的可能無(wú)法確切的表達(dá)我的本意，我的意思是不要過(guò)多的糾結(jié)于或者花太多的錢(qián)來(lái)應(yīng)對(duì)乘客
