There are many many things that are wrong with this industry and the FAA certainly won't fix them all but they can start by changing duty regs.
Take a deep breath, and go do some research. How long was the Colgan crew on duty? How much "rest" did they have the night before? How would any of the proposals actually have changed what happened that night? When you can answer those questions objectively, then we can continue.
