Why I hate Frontier Airlines
This is my story. YMMV.
Frontier is always shouting at the top of their lungs about how good their frequent flier program is. Only 15k miles and you get a free flight! If we required truth in advertising, they'd be forced to say "Only 15k miles and you earn a right to a flight that you might get to use if you book at least 5 months in advance and don't mind flying at the most inconvenient hours!"
Or, like I heard this morning: "You can fly from Denver to Vegas, but you'd have to be routed through Memphis. Oh, and you can't come home until Wednesday."

There was once a time when flying was actually fun. People used to dress up before they went flying - and everyone was on their very best behavior. People found joy in "just getting there" because flying was such a treat. That was then. Today, so many things have conspired to ruin flying - from high gas prices, to miniature seats, to terrorists, to cascading delays, to bewildering airline ticket prices and rules, to bad food, to unhelpful airline staff, and unpleasant company. It's like the modern world took one of their best ideas - and decided that humans are not worthy of anything this good. Flying has since been systematically turned into the equivalent of getting a root canal - only without the novacaine and long lines.
To this I say to the airlines: As a good citizen, I promise not to attempt to stuff a grand piano into an overhead bin, or in any other way disrupt the operation of the airline - and in return, you (the airline) must treat me like a rational, intelligent human being.
Oh, I know, I'm a dreamer.
