Complaints cover reservations, airport checking, flight operations, and post flight services. Many complaints mention rudeness and lack of customer sensitivity on the part of employees.

The employees express bitter comments about management' emphasis on keeping costs low. Employees also believe that "customers expect too much".
Premier uses a private firm to do market research. The research asks customers flight services, and baggage services. Results are summarized by the Quality Department and forwarded to departments. Complaints are received by the Quality Department, acknowledged, and sent to the appropriate department for action and input for a response to the customer. Management to provide overall ratings for airport checking, has been proud of the detailed work instructions and training that is provided to all key employees.
The CEO learned of the distinction between customer satisfaction and customer loyalty. He wonders if the mediocre rating on customer satisfaction causes customers to switch to competitors. The lost revenue then creates pressure to reduce operating costs which may cause further loss in customer satisfaction.
The Quality Director must identify the changes needed to improve customer satisfaction and loyalty but also maintain financial stability.
