You guys are forgetting that this is Colgan's problem. Unless there are FAA changes which are HIGHLY unlikely, nothing will come of this accident for the rest of us. Because fundamentaly the regulations in the eyes of the FAA are designed to reduce pilot fatique. The faa is not resonsible if you want to commute from Seattle on the back of cargo planes to report for duty in the AM in Newark, NJ. I can think of other pilot error/fatigue cases where nothing was done about it. Comair in KY comes to mind. Unfortunately this accident will screw us more then help us. Too many mistakes and carelessness by the pilots in the accident chain. Expect more abuse and harder FAA enforcement. Maybe even commuting restrictions or at least checking in procedures.

If you saw the Colgan hearing, there was a question about what Colgan did after the accident to help reduce or make the pilots aware of the problems like fatigue and company procedures. They answered we sent them memos..... on rest and reporting regulations......
