I got left behind trying to commute between MSP and IAH 4 times in 2 months for weight restrictions before the CRJ was pulled from the route...

They did at the beginning of their time at CAL. The aircraft performed so poorly (i.e. weight restricting to 38), so frequently, that they were pulled after two months. I thought the gate agents in MSP were going to quit.

Jetpipe, they did have to pull that plane from some of those type routes. It's not a stab at your company or your pilots. The E-145XR simply out performs the CRJ-200..

At one time they did. They don't now because MSP complained so much because they were dishing out thousands of $$$$ in denied boarding compensation. That's not the pilots fault. They don't run the W&B program.

I find it funny I'm the only one who saw the guy and spoke with him yet others keep trying to tell me how it went down lol.

CAL now flies MSP mainline which it always should have been. The planes are full when I take them. They could have put an LR2 on it but I guess finally wised up. Next step they need to put a 73 on IAH-STL. Always full.

Looks like we finally agree on something. Those flights are ALWAYS oversold. It's ridiculous! Is that your commuting flight? That cannot be fun.
