Somewhere in there. Coming up on 120 hours in 8 months

Word is they were apparently removed because they tried to use an unauthorized childseat and then became disruptive. They are of course playing the religion card.

For better or worse (you decide) skyw has some of the most by the book (enforcer) FAs I've seen.
I've personally seen many send non-FAA-approved seats to the cargo hold. At that point the customers have two options.
We will see what really happened.
Interesting how the generic lingo of "safety of flight" in the correctly edited light can push everybody to "racism" (bigotry?).

I've flown with the Captain in the video and I'm sure he said more but it was convinently edited out.

That's awesome. Us CRJ folks are over that in 3 months. Efficient use of all our resources at its finest. Maybe I should transition over to the ERJ to get some of the good life. Oh wait.....

The only thing I can think of is the pilot group not seeing the bigger picture in regards to where we need to be staffed. The amount of overstaffing in ORD is insane.

So what's all this about CRJ FOs being denied ERJ transitions till August? Did I miss a memo? *** is up with that?

It's in the conference call notes from this weeks call. Oh wait, there are no notes even though that is supposed to be the most important avenue for communication.

The fact that we are putting new hires in any 175 class right now is pretty low on managements part. We can guess there is flying coming and that they don't want to be short staffed. But the difference in work loads between the two groups is appalling. Maybe that is what MT means when he says staffing is so great in his Q1 update. He only cares about 175 staffing.

Which is just so damn sad and pathetic. Whenever it suits them they play the religion card and of course, the media eats that up like candy. Glad they were kicked out of the airplane - some folks are so unreasonable and always end up playing the victim card.
