My point about the Buffalo crash still stands. Both pilots had well above the mins, especially (obviously) the Captain. The problem is the status quo regional model, period. It needs to go.
And pilots of airliners with 15,000 hours have crashed, too. The point is initial and continuing training, air discipline in following the regulations and good sense and basic altitude matter more. Numerous busts, run-ins with the law, and failure to abide the regs and an airplane will even the score. Not only Colman, but Pinnacle 3407 and the recent TEB Lear 35 accident show an airplane will weed the incompetent or lax.
