If it helps, here's the same conclusion, but this one comes from the Queen's propaganda spin machine,

FlyDubai crash pilot 'was due to leave job over fatigue' - BBC News

Is it any shock that the flyDubai management works their crews to death? That entire region is 600 years behind the West in everything else, why would you think cockpit safety would be up to speed?

Gringo

You sure about that? There are some very reputable operators in that "region" that are doing very well.

We westerners are not perfect. Take a look at some of the accidents that fedex have had, the usair 320 in philly, AA in jamaica etc, just a few examples that show we are just as prone to screwing up.

We dont know what happened with fludubai yet so i would caution about making sweeping statements.

Ive got a few friends still flying in the sandbox. More or less they say the same things about their operations as well.

Fatigue, fatigue, fatigue, bacon, fatigue.

Everyone has been saying it for some time now on these forums. This was bound to happen. Very sad.

Oh really????? Maybe you might want to think about editing that sentence there, Maverick!

You're saying that if an airline had an accident a month or something like the old Aeroflot day for example you'd have no issues working for them... or putting your FAMILY on that particular carrier?

Wow.......

Listen to me ICEMAN. I do not think I have to take or edit any of my sentence. Were all entitled to our own opinions. You cant judge the book by its cover. The regionals in the US honestly are unsafe and some of them do bend the rules or do some dangerous things to keep the operation alive. If I do not want to fly as a passenger or put family on something, its the US regional airlines especially after the ATP rule that went into effect and hurt the airlines. Which lead them to hire poor quality candidates just to fill the quantity gaps. And I do have a good example of someone who flies for a regional and had served time for involuntary manslaughter and a DUI. So you want to fly with someone with that background. I am sure someone like you will still think that's safe but no, id rather fly on FLY DUBAI or any other carrier which is not a regional here in the US. I hope I make myself CLEAR ICEMAN.

I call BS. A person with a felony conviction would not get a airport badge or known crew member. They would not be hirable. More to this story me thinks.
Why would anyone want to go fly for desert airlines. They are ugly employers.

I know its hard to digest a sour pill dude, but he is a good friend of mine whom I flown with and he flies for a regional and has that on his record so yea, that's the standard of quality of regional pilots. And honestly, yes I fly for a regional airline myself, but I till now have never put and never will put my family on any regional airline plane going by the quality that is coming in.
