My point is that just like it was wrong to completely flame the crew for what happened, it is completely wrong to completely flame Mesaba for what happened. It has been clear from the moment the story broke, there is lots of information and pieces of the puzzle missing. I listened to what the startrib has available and it doesn't make Mesaba look as bad as the DOT report. Obviously there is something missing.

For all the XJet folks to now do to the RST ground staff what many did to your fellow pilots is hypocritical. And Larry's public comment slamming Delta Connection was immature and unprofessional.

Again... there is lots of opportunity for many parties involved to share the blame. This includes the crew, XJet, Mesaba, DL/NW, the airport and TSA.
