So- why did 3701 override the pusher? Poor decision making and being caught off guard.
Anyone who knows anything about aviation KNOWS that Renslow was just startled and didn't know what the hell happened to his airplane. Should he have been the Capt? This is not a training issue. This is being tired an being startled.
The bottom line is- you Colgan, Pinnacle and Mesaba pilots ALL better learn how to grow up and grow up fast. So what if you have to wait 1 year extra to upgrade. Does it suck? Yes. Do you have a job? YES.
If you guys can't learn to get along like professional airline pilots, I guarantee there will be no PNCL Corp left because you guys will destroy it. Now cut the crap.
