That's true, but there is a difference between crashing because you lose situational awareness and crashing because you're purposefully pushing the limits. At least they didn't kill anyone else.

so which one of the two didn't push the limits??? and which of the two didn't lose situational awareness??? your comment makes no sense and has no rational. the guys that took it to 410 lost situational awareness by not paying attention to airspeed and stall margins, the klm guys lost situational awareness by being socked in by the fog. The 410 guys purposefully push the limits and payed the price. the klm guys pushed the limits and over 500 people payed the price... (i dare you to tell me that taking off without a clearance is not pushing the limit)

Everyone knows that 2 young guys in a Pinnacle jet are 100% professional and don't switch seats and don't stall at FL410 which doesn't make both engines flame out, and even if that DID happen, they would be able to read the checklist which would tell them to not even try a restart above a certain altitude otherwise the engines might core lock.
In all fairness to the other guy KLM thought they were cleared for take-off and didn't know they were doing anything wrong... Not that intent matters after the fact.

Are you kidding me? No one has the money to pay for 1200 turbojet time, and do you realize that the majority of regional jet pilots are under 40 right????? Also I have had 35 year olds get lost on their cross country's before, because they felt like they didn't need to listen; but my younger students make them perfect. Go back to posting in the flight training section where some one is a fool enough to listen to you.

haha wow more like any body over the age of 40 should be a pilot they could croak at any second
You're right, RickJames, no one should be a pilot under the age of 40, where their bodys have started the downward trend. As a matter of fact, I think NO ONE should fly ANY PASSNGER JET without have 1200 PIC turbo jet time which they have paid for out of pocket. That 35 year old working on his CPL is MUCH more safe than the 22 year old with a CPL and a ME rating and has twice the hours. They need to put a law on this stuff.
