Remember all pilots got the same ratings before going to 121. Then you can say low timers work for Colgan... Not just colgan, every other regional hired low guys! Everyone. And the Frontline isnt just pointing at Colgan. Its talking about the regionals as a whole.
I'm not talking about the pilots in the crash only. I'm talking about the inevitable endless discussion that is going to occur about the safety, training, quality of management, quality of life, low pay, lack of rest, and overall type of operation you'd be walking into as a newhire.
All of this, btw, is not going to be coming from crewroom rumor, angry pilots, or message boards.... its going to be coming from the National Transportation Safety Board.
The quality of this airline is not the fault of the pilots who work there, but it is not an environment that one should blindly choose to enter... you really have to take an objective look at all of the information, good and especially bad.
