Yeah, there is little to no reason for the airship Weiss is on to crash, aside from maybe some flying Grimm harassing it or someone shooting the engine or something. It was just a thought that crossed my mind a little while back - that Miles and Kerry could delay Weiss getting to Mistral if they wanted to, by having the airship crash.

I can see the first episode having RNJR, Qrow, Oscar, maybe SSN, probably Lionheart and Watts, and then Weiss appearing at the end.

If RNJR does fight in the first episode, it could be a fight that's not serious, like the food fight or ABRN vs RWBY. Maybe JNR and SSN sparring or something while Ruby and Qrow watch.
