In general Comair and other airlines should take the blame. What were the pilots talking about before their takeoff? They were talking about finding other jobs. Now why were they talking about finding other jobs? It is because their quality of life at Comair like most other airlines flat out sucks. When a company does not take care of its employees, they are going to look for another job which in turn detracts from their performance whether they are a waiter, policeman, or pilot. It is a known fact the three most stressful things to deal with in a person's life is 1. Divorce 2. Death of family member/friend 3. Change of Job. Nobody wants to willingly change jobs or even talk about it. The pilots were talking about changing jobs because along with every other pilot with some "decent" amount of time on the job are not happy at Comair. Moral is low and unfortunately the airlines do not realize safety is compromised when simple quality of life issues are not addressed. No doubt there was mistakes made, but WHY these mistakes were made is the bigger question that nobody( NTSB, FAA, Airlines, etc.) is looking at.
