You flew a CRJ that was full and had a light load in the bin...aka..Ballast is needed in order for the physics to work properly. Being a "former" pilot you should know better...right?
New hire FA reading out of the book....well seeing as how her announcement has to be word for word because the FAA mandates it. Whats your point?
If the flight was switched to a 1:20 departure then why did it board at 12:20??
Fuel 20 mins late....mmmm....IAD is a huge busy airport!!??!

So you'll never fly a regional again huh? Good luck spending all day or week getting from point A to B while you wait for those mainliners.
