I think we all know that LCC pax are not all lowlifers.....I have seen my fair share of high - profile pax, diaamond wearing pax on JQ BUT
The reality is that people have a superiority complex about anything low cost......
Do you run into work and say "oh I just bought this fabulous top from Best and Less for $6 as it suits my skin tone"... Um no
We run into work "I just spent $300 on a pair of Gucci sunglasses"
When people fly the JQ most say, and trust me I am there most days, that they were surprised and had a great flight...Low expectation because they paid $49 for a flight,,, When thay can have an educated conversation with a flight attendant they are even more surprised..... Pay low prices get a low price Flight attendant, Thats what most people think...
Case and point, we all, myself included, love bragging about our business class flight rather than our middle seat low cost carrier flight.... Hardly xmas lunch conversation...
Lets not bring Helen Keller into it,,, She has enough to deal with
