The Colgan incident is the exception, not the rule. As you know better than most, at ASA, many pilots are more experienced than many at the majors. We have a great safety record...better than some majors. I have had more than one former ASA pilot tell me that the ASA training department is better than what they experience at the majors...including Delta and Southwest.
Mutual respect as equals is the first step...
In the end we safely fly pax around in our respective aircraft with big widgets or wavy gravy on the tail. We are equals on that regard.
The two companies though are different on many different levels. The biggest ones being the paycheck, work rules, and scope of operation...
