If you are sick, you dont work. Colgan had a union at the time of the crash so I do not want to hear any of the "fear of retribution" stuff.
This was the first leg of the first day of trip so I do not see how duty or rest requirements have anything to do with 3407.
Marvin and Becca were simply complacent and not paying attention. As much as I think we need duty and fatigue issues addressed, lets not think that 3407 was anything other than two people not paying attention.
Where have you been, in a hole? Both crewmembers commuted to work prior to trip. The F/O slept in the crewroom after she commuted in from SEA. I am not against commuting, cuz I do. but to sit here and say fatigue was not a factor I disagree with you.
