How does CAL maintain, or have direct control of training records for Colgan Pilot's, and their training?? If Colgan is just dba as Continental Connection, existing on it's own Operating Certificate, they (Colgan) would be required to maintain their own training operation/records per being a Part 121 certificate holder (Just as Skywest is to DAL, or UAL). As far as I am aware, CAL does NOT have anything to do directly with Colgan's training, nor it's record keeping that would be involved with the Colgan Pilot Training.
In reading the above, if any lawyer would want such a thing, they may want to knock on a door that has "Colgan Air" written on it.
Explain??
It's simple and intentional by the attorney... Follow the money... Aircraft said Continental... Must sue Continental... The ultimate result from the legal wrangling will be a settlement paid to the families by CAL or their insurance company and a settlement from Colgan as well.
