Andy has to be the most or only published journalist in aviation at WSJ. Unfortunately he is consistently wrong. After the Colgan crash he was quoted as saying that in discussing "actual" time there were referring to time spent in icing conditions. It is too bad they can't find someone who can actually do some research and report properly.
