I basically only used them for the PIT -> LAS direct flight for Defcon, and while I never got enough miles or whatever for any kind of formal loyalty program, I got the impression that a decade and a half of respecting sky law[1] got me some conversations most passengers don't get to have :-)

One of their pilots once confided the reason he had to have them plant a drink cart in the aisle while he popped out to use the bathroom was because they're given such little time between connections they can't even stop at a urinal. (<15 minutes)

They flew too close to the sun, and they had a cascading failure. Womp womp!
