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

[CA1900]

Now why didn't the crew offer to open the main cabin door, have the stairs out then turn their backs...

What stairs?

dumb move

I find it hard to believe that it was a captain’s decision not to deplane. This kind of situation would be elevated to a high level of management in Expressjet.

That being said any rational pilot would declare an emergency and deplane rather then to kidnap their passengers for that long overnight.

When asked reason for emergency, Crew fatigue, Crew unable to can't keep passengers safe.

According to the FlightAware, I don't see where the dispatcher planned adequately enough to fly AROUND the TS along the route of flight.

Completely wrong

We are on a CPA with CAL not a fee for departure contract.

Um no I am not!!! Completion factor is part of the compensation from cal. Or at least it was for nearly the decade I was there!!!!

Biohazard from the overflowing lavatory.

You mean to tel me that POS plane (regardless who drives one) doesn't have self-contained stairs?

I don't fly that thing nor have I ever.

It would have been interesting if there was a medical emergency. That would have gotten the ball rolling to have stairs provided.

It's an option, just like it is on a 737. As that airline normally hooks up to jetways, the self-contained stairs just get in the way. Other operators that don't often use jetways got them delivered with the integrated stairs.

Indeed it would. I can only imagine what fun that was with the overflowing toilets and screaming, tired babies...
