Default Flt Canc. 4 pilots later?

How could this happen? Pilots timing out?

Delta passengers upset because pilot doesn't show

Man, would be sweet to have the one PILOT exemption they have over there.

I guess none of those angry passengers have ever called in sick for a day of work before. I don't know why they didn't cancel it later, though. 12 hours?

What a joke. It's only gonna get worse from here on out. Unfortunately the flying public usually doesn't know the difference between mainline and regional and simply book their tickets without thinking about it. Regional carriers are always the first to be cancelled in any IROP situations versus mainline flights. When traveling with anykind of time constraints i try to avoid booking on regional flights, they are not to be trusted.

Can't recruit FOs due to NYC basing off terrible pay. It was bound to happen. Here comes some more great stories this summer.

THIS^^^^ mixed with no one wanting to move out to NYC to make nothing but peanuts for pay. It's just gonna get worse.

This is the culprit. It's not about the new pilot rest rules, it's about no one willing to relocate to NYC to take a job paying 20k a year. It's the regional model and it's failing. This is proof. Pay regional pilots a livable wage and we would see this problem mostly disappear.

February 2009, what has changed? Colgan-->Pinnacle-->Endevour. Still paying FOs next to nothing based in NYC. History will repeat itself, they did not fix the issue.
