The WSJ is usually very accurate and I do not believe out to slander anyone. Months after the crash I am able to view the incident with a more objective head.
Remember everything in the training program was approved by the FAA so the lack of training issues can fall back on the FAA.
Scheduling issues is a huge issue at all regionals and the FAA and RAA have been pulling this crap for years. Colgan manipulates by using the FAA approved rules.
I think the big issue is not Colgan or Marvin or anything like that. The issue is the FAA and their reactive nature in everything. The know pilots fly tired everyday, but do nothing. As far as I am concerned, the FAA is an accessory to this accident.
