My question is, why would they say this? They have referenced TWA and the flight 800 crash saying that ended TWA. If Colgan say did go out of business, what do you all think would happen to the industry as a whole? Who would get their flying, airplanes, and pilots?

I am not trying to start a Colgan bashing thread. I just want a few other opinions then the older type captains that I have been flying with.

Thanks!
I highly doubt they will go out of business, however, if they get enough bad press they may change the name of the company. i.e. valuejet -> airtran
