some FAs have been flying a lot, most are coming back to work for the first time in a while as scheduling is calling in reserve FAs.

planes are definitely more crowded now than they were in April May

some of the planes have random Mx issues if they haven’t flown in a while as they come back from being parked.


intersting perspective...

ive flown with a bunch of new FOs.... aside from that- everything you said is inaccurate....

at least from what I’ve seen....
