With the weather in the area it doesn't seem like there would be a smooth ride over the Sierra's, but it's also hard to know what type of information they were given by dispatch and ATC. The Compass crews are professionals, and I highly doubt the FA's would have been out of their seats if the crew had any idea the ride was going to get bad.
