The very nice receptionist told me he was out of the office doing another interview but I left him a pointed voicemail explaining how it was possible for me to come to work tired while doing a 4 day where the 1st day was min rest, 8 hours, all days were at least 12 hours long, and the last day started before 6 am and was scheduled over 15 hours.
This guy is swine.
Although it probably made you feel better, in the end your call won't mean anything to him. It probably gave him a good chuckle.
He knows the issues, and he knows the safety implications. His job is to spew the RAA talking points. His only mission is to present an adequate defense so that the flying public (read: sheep) will not hold Colgan or the regional airline industry liable for the accident.
Lie, obfuscate and point fingers in the other direction. A classic defense.
