Any other ideas?
These hearings may be beneficial to future contract negotiations.
How and why would paying commuter pilots more money have prevented this crash? Are you saying that because they were poorly paid that they had the right to break cockpit procedure, stop flying the aircraft, and to incorrectly apply basic flight manuevers taught on day one of flight training?
So far, this is looking like the typical derelict of duties and failure to show to work properly rested type of accident.
I'm sorry if that makes anyone angry or mad at me, but it is what it is.
