I have made no claims to being a professional pilot. I am a GA pilot working my way up. I've researched the Colgan crash plenty and find the 1,500 rule that followed to be a kneejerk/political result. The punishment didn't fit the crime. More than anything the crew were very fatigued, the FO claimed to not be feeling well, lack of sterile cockpit and the CA had like 7 failed prior check rides. And look what the rest of America got as a result.
Me, a troll?? Wow, some of you guys on here are pretty wimpy.
