Evil Spirit pilots may have stood up to their bosses and got a little extra cash for themselves (good for them), but it’s the passengers who got screwed now that that strike is over.
Here’s how the business / passenger intercourse works: The pilots walk off the job for four days. All of Evil Spirit Airlines flights are canceled because there are no pilots who want to work for $7.95 an hour plus free trips to Vegas.
Anyway, unlike a normal, no so evil airlines, Evil Spirit does not have any arrangements with other airlines to help pick up the slack when a plane breaks down or weather socks someone in. So when it canceled five days of flights — Sunday through Thursday — it shoved a turbine sized fist

up the keesters of everyone who flew. No other airline would help, because, no other airline has ever been helped by Evil Spirit.
Now, here’s the bad news for passengers.
Evil Spirit is offering you a couple of options. First is a new flight (eventually) and 100 fake spirit dollars, mostly used to claim a small space in the overhead bin compartment. Evil Spirit Airlines is the only airline to charge to people for carry on luggage.
Of course, Evil Spirit Airlines will eventually refund your money — something many customers said they have not been able to do. But how much does it help a stranded passenger to get $18 back from ESA if you have book a same day fight on another airline because you’re worried about losing your job or your wife.
Thousands of people stuck in the Caribbean and faraway US cities now know what we knew all along. Welcome to the club and let the boycott continue.
