yeah god forbid you should have to work an extra half hour. Although Im sure most if not all of the crew actually lived in SEA and wouldve rather went there. Its a case of a union contract working against your favor
Um, they can waive their contact limits, but not their FAA limits. Pretty sure it was probably the government not the union that kept that plane from reaching Seattle nonstop. At least I hope so!
