Another example of a clueless politician pandering votes and attention from the constituency. Where has this self serving individual been hibernating? What was the last airline he flew with. I’m sure the congressman was the ace of the base of his squadron. However never living the life of a regional pilot does not give him the right to pound his fist on the desk and make demands for answers.

Mr. Boccieri asks: “Do Colgan Air's minimum flight requirements for air crew exceed FAA guidelines, or simply meet them? Do you still find those regulations to be sufficient?”

Tell us Mr. Boccieri, please cite the specific FAR, Advisory Circular, or even the 8410, and any other guideline(s) that specifies minimum flight requirements.

Mr. Boccieri asserts, “Even the most basic pilot training – from Cessnas to bombers – includes basic training to correct a stall. It is becoming clear that the 50 deaths that occurred that night in February were not only tragic, but likely avoidable.”

Enlighten us Mr. Boccieri, provide this forum with a training syllabus outlining training for the recovering from full stalls.

Yes Mr. Boccieri, go on and continue to be the typical stereotypical lazy politician that I continue to identify with, and take incomplete and inaccurate information and spin it something that will benefit your next campaign.

Tell me Mr. Boccieri even Colgan humors you by responding to your letter, what is your game plan? What is your game plan if Colgan does not respond to your letter.


By the way Mr. Boccieri where were you when pay and benefits were being cut at the major carriers? What recommendations, or madates have you proposed after Sully's testimony before congress?
