Its incredible the way they dance around these issues. They acknowledge indirectly that 16K is not enough to live on in the Newark area by the fact that management gets locality pay but not flight crews. Obviously they have every employees' address so they know who lives where and that most crews commute to EWR. The FAA has never been on the side of flight crews as far as fatigue is concerned. Granted Capt. Renslow and F/O Shaw were the only ones in that cockpit on that night, but I will submit that many of the factors that led up to this tragedy were enabled and allowed to happen by both Colgan and the FAA and it didn't have to happen.
