I was a passenger on a Mesa UA express flight today out of Dulles. What a poor experience it was:
1)12:22 out of A swithced at last minute to 1:20 out of C concourse.
2)Flight boards at 1200 leaving paz behind until they scream to get on board.
3)Flight attendent brand new.Reads all announcements off a classroom handout with back to pax. 3rd graders could have done better. Very unprofessional.
4) We wait for fuel -20 additional mins after sched dept.
5)2 people have to move from front to back for Weight and Balance THEN they put 450lbs ballast in aft baggage because they LEAVE ALL PASSENGER BAGS behind because they will not wiat for them to come over from concourse A!
6) FO is on IOE (initial operating experince) flight.
What a joke.
Our new company policy will be: NO MORE REGIONALS. No wonder business aviation is growing!

1. The FA's are suposed to read the announcements until they feel comfortable to do them verbaitum out of their book.
2. How do you know the FO was in IOE, did he where a big pointy hat that said "I'm stupid!"

I agree. I didnt know that they did that until I deadheaded one day with a new FA. I asked her latter that day and she said that they were supposed to untill they got it down. Even she thought it was a little unprofessional, ZK was/is so desperate for FA's, go figure.
