1997 A Comair Embraer 120 Brasilia crashed while on approach to Detroit Metropolitan Airport. The crew was instructed to slow to 170 knots by Air Traffic Control and complied. This speed was below the stall speed of the aircraft in icing conditions, and the plane entered a spin and impacted the ground. All 29 on board were killed.
"...One airline employee, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said that fewer flight attendants would have a drastic impact on the takeoff weight of United's airplanes, thus saving fuel in the long run..."
Just think, if they (UA) eliminate all FA's, how much fuel would they save then? And, who's next?

Does the statement Mr. Anonymous made infer that UAL's F/a's are over weight? _________________

I'm not sure what the anonymous person was trying to imply, other than the fact that the FA's are feeling the heat just like everyone else.
