Mayve somebody can elighten me... but what are FA duty day limits? does it match up with our 8/30/100? also in their contract, what are the duty day limits?
TBH, I have said it before, and will say it again, Management at Colgan, eg, upper level generaly knows what they are doing. Yes, the work rules need work, but guess what... You knew what they were when you started. Can't blame them for something you signed onto.
90% of the issues that people complain of, are scheduling related. Crew schedulers are not upper management. Half of them have no experience in aviation prior. This also means that most of them don't understand what it's like on the pilots side. I think all Colgan schedulers should be made to ride an EWR crew jump seat for a week - I bet you would see quite a change in SOP's then.
Colgan has wanted "out" of the USair system for a while. It is all at risk, and anytime Colgan starts to turn a profit, USair pulls Colgan and puts PDT,PSA,AWAC on the run. This comes as no supprise to me.
