[quote=seafeye;758043]I guess this is just a big victory for the airlines.
Blame the Pilots and refuse to believe that wages have anything to do with safety.
If the pilots were making a decent living they would be living in base and would have been well rested prior to the flight.
There were a lot of errors in this accident but to put 100% on the pilots is wrong. Management is to blame as well.
If they paid decent wages then maybe some 8000hr Unitied furloughee would have been working that night instead of some 800hr pilot.
Experience is out there. Airlines just don't want to pay for it.[/quote
thier show was like 1245 and they were on days off prior I believe. The low pay and horrible work rules unfortunately attracted less qualified people...........
Same reason I went to Colgan I was;nt competitive enough to get an interview at Expressjet, so I went to Colgan.......
Scary thing is, every regional hired 600hr guys the past few years (mostly 2007), and hell I heard Colgan was hiring guys with 50 multi, thats scary
