[Pearls Before Swine]

I read somewhere that there was some regulation against driving the crew that distance. I don’t know if it’s a work rule, or Federal, or even true. It certainly would have been preferable!

I don’t know why we all accept as accurate the notion that this crew, and this crew alone, was the only one in the Midwest that could staff the flight in St. Louis that day.

Do any crew live near St. Louis?

Or how about crews in Dallas, KC, Detroit, Nashville, etc. who could have boarded a flight with open seats to get to St. Louis?

I think union rules.
