Every inbound FA and those at home were brought to EWR for training on the new fire extinguisher before they could work again. Colgan didnt simply ignore the FAA. THat being said, the jackhole in the training depeartment who made this mistake still works here. She should have been bounced in 09, but hopefully this will help us clean house in the training department.
Did you read the article or the press release from the FAA? They informed Colgan and Colgan continued to work the flight attendants instead of pulling them off line. Somebody found out and shut the operation down and forced the retraining which you are talking about. Colgan INITIALLY ignored the FAA and that is where the problem was. This is from multiple sources inside the FAA and one from Colgan.
You really think this is a +million dollar fine and Colgan didn't do anything wrong? might want to check your facts
