Commuting across the country from their parents basement, because they could not afford to live like normal people definitely contributed to colgan killing people.

Except the first officer couldn't afford to move to base or get a room for the night. but whatever

The amazing thing is that when provided evidence contrary, some people do not accept the information, instead, they double-down and go even further off the deep end.

The rest requirement change as a result of Colgan was a good thing. The 1500 hour rule was not.
