I called crew scheduling two days ago and was actually able to drop a turn. I couldn't believe it. I made the scheduler say it three times.

How do you see how much vacation you've accumulated?

Section 8.A of the contract will tell you how much you accumulate based on your years of service. Other than that, once you bid for vacation in NOV, your available vacation time will be listed in the bidding process.

The 175 sucks. It can take only 26 standard 22" roll aboards because they have to be put in sideways. Also, AA thought like you did so there is no valet checking only checking to baggage claim. This has led to far more complaints because the pax don't understand american eagle 175 vs american eagle 145/crj that has valet.

What do they do with things like strollers or wheel chairs?

Same way they're handled on mainline birds. They are pink tagged, then taken down to the ramp and a ramper brings them up at the destination. Early on they were pink tagging commuters' bags and handling it like a stroller. The rampers' union soon said, "no thanks, we're not going to do that with crew bags." And that was pretty much the end of that.
