Here are my gripes with this "news article":

"That crew was not ready to respond to a stall warning," Dean Bandavanis, director of flight operations for Colgan Air...testified. "They kind of acted surprised."

This quote is worth ten million dollars to any lawyer with a pulse. Home Run.

Shaw also seemed ill-prepared for the stall warning, Yurman said.
"She said it herself, 'I've never seen so much ice,'" Yurman said, referring to a transcript of the flight recording. "And [Renslow] did exactly what an inexperienced pilot would do."

If this is a true statement, and if "all regional pilots are inexperienced" is also a true statement, the only logical conclusion is that every regional flight results in the deaths of all aboard.

Both pilots also violated FAA regulations by talking about non-flight-related matters below 10,000 feet, something more experienced pilots would not do, Yurman said.

Yurman does not = Airline Pilot. Yurman = Tool.

"He wasn't experienced enough to know that he was having this icing problem to begin with," he said. "An experienced captain would not let that happen.... A lot of these commuter airlines try to teach experience, and you can't do that."

Another reason every regional flight results in the deaths of all aboard?

But Roger Cohen, president of the Regional Airlines Association, said it's wrong to suspect that regional airlines aren't as safe as the major airlines. Safety on smaller aircraft is "equal to or better" than safety on larger aircraft," Cohen said...

Cohen basically says Civilian is "equal to or better" than Military. Case closed.

"All of our member airlines adhere to the exact same rules as the major airlines in terms of scheduling, safety and so forth," Cohen said. "It's all part of one system. Safety is number one on our radar screen every day of the year."

Every day? Maybe. But Colgan (and Comair 5191) crashed at night.
I was unaware that Colgan, Mesa, Delta, and Southwest all "adhere to the exact same rules" for scheduling.
Cohen = Yurman = Tool.
