Once the new FTDT rules take effect, I'm not sure they will be staying open for very long as somewhere between 70-90% of their trips will be illegal (particularly their day trips).

3. Haven't really run into it. For the most part the FAs are great on the 170 but there are always exceptions. I can think of only about 4 that I have problems with and nothing as serious as what you stated. Considering my last airline hired FAs off of Craigslist...

Honestly, there are a lot of things wrong with this airline that could be improved but if you come from another airline, you will understand that its pretty normal at the regional level. That being said its still a crap fest and you will probably have better qol at Skywest or Expressjet.
