She said the flight went out late while waiting for her to arrive on a Continental flight.)
Heard 20 something FA's quit already since May 1st.
Talked to a few guys today in CVG that didn't make their second attempt to get to JFK.
How many cancellations were there yesterday? Some were probably do to weather, but others were probably due to being understaffed, mismanaged flight crews and pure incompetence of the schedulers.
Rant over.
Woah... easy there. I know blaming the scheduler's "imcompetence" is always the most popular thing, but there was a lot more to it. They had a last minute sick/FM/fatigue call in Texas, and couldn't get anyone there for the report. Being a CR9, one FA doesn't cut it. And, I was told the company was buying the ticket, so the "her own credit card" thing isn't legit. In fact, quite a few people stayed very late just to get that whole thing set up, since it was something that doesn't happen very often. After all my defending, I'm quite glad to not have to deal with these sort of things anymore.
