Continental Airlines Nightmare Continues {Gadling}

Jul 24th 2006 12:18AM first of all do your research.
legalaity of crew rest is a contractual obligation and an FAA requirements.
quit blaming overwork and underpaid crews- we are not the decision makers.
that corporate fat cats in houston tx that can buy and sell you and i both like dirt on the street.
more over angry hoards and a hundred or more people waiting on a flight....get real embraer 145xr aircrafts only seat 50.
expressjet is the regional provder that operates as continental express.
continental controls delays and cancellations.
newark new jersey is the most delay airport in the country.
newark, jfk, and laguardia are make up the most congested airspace in the world.
3 airports aprx 26 miles radius.
in short i feel for you plight.
i travel and suffer delays as well.
i work however - my ass off providing safety , meals, drinks ect. and live in one of the most expensive areas in the us for like 20,000 dollars a year for people to curse at me like its my fault when s**t dont go their way.
I work 15 - 16 hour days and get paid for 7.5 to 8 hours.
I qualify for housing assistance(if i wasn't so proud).
basically get off the crews ass.
St John' has other options.

3 good ole fashion patience and understanding that s**t happens
4 keep on freakingand
5 stay the hell out of the US and Newark/NYC
