True, and we all now what happened in the Colgan crash so it doesn't need to be covered. So if you think about it, what should cause more outrage? A couple inexperienced pilots, and a PIC with a spotty record crash a plane, kill people. As tragic as it is, it's a direct cause effect. Where is the outrage when highly experienced, highly compensated pilots crash a plane and kill people?

Interesting take on it. So what you're saying is, it's OK to make mistakes where people could have been killed, but they weren't

You're missing the point, it's not about "body count". But you can bet if both these incidents turned out differently, it would be about the body count.

No, it's really not.
