Media and fedex
They're keep reporting fedex plane has crashed in texas. IT'S AN ATR AND NOT FEDEX. YES I KNOW FEDEX OWN THOSE ATRS BUT IT IS NOT FEDEX AND THERE IS NO FEDEX pILOTS BEING TRATED IN THE HOSPITAL. Media is run by idiots.

While I'm not a huge fan of the media in aviation reporting, there is nothing wrong with this article CNN:
FedEx plane crashes in Texas - CNN.com
They get a quote from a FedEx spokesperson, and they mention that the plane is operated for FedEx by Empire, and the call the "FEDEX pILOTS" just "Two crew members".

One of the Caravan's smacked into the hills on the east side of OAK about 10 years ago; I still remember the messges that were being flashed onto the "Hub TV" screens that morning: "Feeder aircraft down, freight recoverable", nothing about the pilot!

). The local ramp told me that they were able to recover a large portion of the freight, including one, apparently, very expensive shipment, from the pancaked wreckage. That pilot did not survive.
