I have asked the same thing, how come they 'don't' jive when it comes to Flt Dk vs FA staffing reductions on a relative scale when it comes to common base/crewing. The answer I got last week from the IAH office was lots of the fall/winter flying through EWR will be done by IAH Flt Dk crews, but FA staffing will not be done in the same planning model - keeping EWR domestic FA crews flying similar to present day planning.....does anyone agree this makes sense?? Sounds like Greek for, "smoke and mirrors".

757Driver....what's this about your slant on a law suit concerning the topic?? Do explain your take. I agree, it all smells like a 'big steamer'.
