Once again the government is not going to the root of the problem. Talking below 10,000 ft does very little to effect the safety of flight. We all know that. To imply otherwise is BS. We do this job day after day, leg after leg to the point where we retract the flaps without thinking about it. I often call for gear up & don't even remember doing so. The Colgan accident wasn't not caused by breaking sterile. They'll put in the report, but it's BS & we know it. The Colgan accident was caused by a lack of airmanship, period. A chain of events lead to the fatal & tragic ending, but talking below 10,000 didn't do squat. As a matter of fact, talkig about ice on the airplane ISNT EVEN breaking sterile. It's DIRECTLY related to the safety of flight & ABSOLUTELY SHOULD be discussed.

The government is once again trying to fix something that ISN'T broke. Fix the work rules! Fix the rest rules! Fix the worthless, pointless RLA!! Fix the crooks that are management of many airlines!!! FIX THE PROBLEM!!!!!!! STOP WASTING OUR TIME!!!!!!

Rant over.
