"It was a scary day for more than a hundred passengers on board delta flight 41-54."

Gotta love the accuracy of the media. The plane holds 70.

I'm assuming there was only one FA or else the more *experienced* FA would have interceded and provided her with guidance.

The sad point is that you can not trust the judgement of most regional FAs. I wish this was not the case but it seems the hiring bar continues to get lower and lower because the Company does not want to pay more than a poverty wage. Hey, why does that sound so familar....

What is even more shocking is the fact that Colgan FAs start off making more than Pinnacle and Mesaba FAs do

Doesn't Pinnacle start their FA's at something like $15.50 an hour?

Does that mean you are shocked that the lowly 9L FAs make more, or that you think your far superior FAs should be making at least the same or more?

You are confrontational from the start, aren't you?

Hey...I am a Colgan pilot!!!! I am pointing out the fact that as low as our FAs are paid, MSA and PCL FAs are paid even less. That is the shocking part.

Also, what is with your screen name? Are you just trying to stir up crap?
