Looks like I was wrong, and didn’t remember correctly. That’s been like 7 years ago. I do remember a big discussion on tail stalls after we went over the report. Whoops, forgot guys on APC have never been wrong before.

I still don’t understand where “1500” hours came from. Both pilots had well over that amount in TT.

It’s been 10 years since that flight, February 12, 2009. I’m an aspiring Commercial Pilot with low hours; working on IFR and Commercial now hoping to make a career change from L.E. and fly in Alaska someday. I have absolutly no gripe with the 1500 hour rule and think it is a good. I can’t imagine the confidence, experience, and lessons a pilot will learn from 250 to 1500. Exponential in my opinion. Like another poster said, it may have been one of the best things for avialtion (wages, QOL, etc.), unfortunatly, as a result of circumstances and lives lost. I’m looking forward to gaining the knowledge, skills, abilities, and Earning It!
God Bless All lost on the flight. |

It’s not called the 1500 hr rule, the actual rule was a manadate that regional SICs have an ATP to occupy the seat. An ATP required 1500TT and thus the rule was referred to as the “1500 hour rule”.

Either way, the FA announces who the carrier is and passengers still don’t get it. |

This is how it was in the past as well. Or at least on the purchased ticket it always said “operated by....”

Hmmm, probably fortunate for many pilots. Otherwise, passengers would choose to only fly main line and skip the regional carriers. No?

I think it is safe to say, even though this sounds pretty brutal, but Colgan 3407 was the best thing that ever happened to the regional airline industry.
The safer Regional industry is a small solace the families of the passengers in the crash can take. Their lobbying efforts did a lot of good. |
