Jungle, I checked out your blog. Wasn't too bad!

I would MUCH rather have read your blog entry (last 30 seconds) about the Colgan crash as opposed to Les Abend's article where he personally name calls the dead CA and FO. Totally unnecessary. Then he goes on talking about experience and how he interviewed at Braniff with only 1100 hrs and as a 21 year old kid. He didn't get the job, but then he said an inner voice told him that he wasn't ready. That's BS, he interviewed because he wanted the job but didn't get it. Had he been hired, no way would he have told his recruiter, "sorry I'm not ready." He would accepted the first available class date.

Your Colgan article was subjective, his was judgemental. This is one case I would rather have seen your article in the 'Jumpseat' column.
