Again, this goes back to the people airlines hire and what those people are willing to work for. I used to care about the customer when I first started but after being beaten down by my company, taking pay cuts along with several other losses of contractual benefits and being verbally attacked by customers, I had enough. People don't wanna do that job and deal with the public for what they are now earning.

The way of the waiver is long gone. The airline I worked for monitored this and actually proposed the idea of "revenue leakage recovery", where they wanted the employee to pay for the revenue he/she lost for waiving a fee. Waiving of fees is rare these days.
