I remember one RJ flight, SklyWest of course, where the "lead" FA (working in FC) had almost as much trouble as the other one figuring out where things were in the galley and then trying to explain to the other one what to do and helping her during most of the flight rather than paying attention to customers in the front of the aircraft. It was beverage service only, no meal, but even that service seemed beyond their abilities. Both wore regular uniforms so I don't think one was a trainee.
It didn't give me much confidence in their knowledge of emergency equipment on the aircraft.
