XJT forces 47 PAX to sleep aboard aircraft in Rochester, MN?

[COOPERVANE]

I have only worked for one regional. I have NEVER felt pressured to fly sick, fatigued, no APU...whatever. Not afraid to talk to a chief. I guess I take my company for granted.

I've dealt with a similar situation as what happened in RST twice as a Capt. Was not a big deal and had support from Dispatch, ASA, and Delta.

I just don't understand how this happened. There HAS to be more to the story.

I think it depends on the exact circumstances. I've dealt with a similar situation once, but unfortunately did not receive as much support as you describe, despite burning both my and my FO's cellphone batteries dry. I worked out a solution on my own, but sometimes the circumstances just suck.

Glad to hear it. My former regional's CP called me and chewed me out because I dared delay a flight to take a piss and get something to eat. We had a 5:30am show at a hotel with no breakfast, and 10 minute turns (on underblocked legs) on a no-lav/no-galley 1900 until 2pm. "You have a three-hour break in the afternoon; you can eat lunch and dinner then," he said.

And he genuinely couldn't understand why we were pushing for a union. :angryfire
