Skybus crews performed admirably until the end
Dan Forney’s letter (April 15) said, “The entire Skybus crew knew it was their last flight, that we would have no way to get back home. Not only did they not tell us ... .” How did he know the flight crew knew it was their last flight if they did not tell him?
I know for a fact that the passengers knew it was the last flight and the flight crew waited for the passengers who wanted to fly back to Greensboro to get off the plane, go through security to re-board to get back home. They did not want them to be stranded. The crew did not get paid for waiting.
My niece was one of the flight attendants on that flight. I am so tired of hearing half-truths from people.
And the “real airlines” comment. What constitutes a “real” airline? Real people caring about your safety, certified by FAA, DOT, FBI and SBI. Real people who gave up weeks of their life to get you safely off the aircraft in an emergency, help you in a medical emergency, who really lost their jobs and livelihood. Feels pretty real to me.

It was as real as any airline and, in a different time, might have made it. I suppose he considers US Airways to be a "real" airline. Piedmont (the backbone of present-day US Airways) was founded in the Triad and look what US Airways has done for us........we now have regional jet-only service from them (mostly through CLT). I wouldn't walk across the tarmac to urinate on the wheel of one of the US Airways contract RJ's. I'd take a bus before flying US Airways.
