For one, they're cheap asses.
They charge for soda. Who charges for soda?
They have TVs on them, but they charge for it, even just the regular channels.
Then, the last flight I took, they spend half the flight peddling various wares up and down the aisle. It was really obnoxious.
If their prices were always around the $150 RT mark I mentioned, I wouldn't mind. Last flight I took with them though, was $130 one way. That's about how much I pay for one way flights on Jet Blue to San Francisco or Fort Lauderdale, and JB doesn't charge for their TV or their drinks, or your first checked bag.
They also board front to back. Wouldn't bother me that much if I could remember that they do it, but I don't fly them often enough to remember that little detail. So when I pick a seat toward the back thinking I'll be one of the first on, it backfires.
Flight crew I had last time didn't have a very good attitude. It wasn't a pleasant flight. I'm guessing either the airline is cheap with their wages, or they just get sick of hearing people complaining that they charge for everything. Idk.
