Default Colgan Air flight 3407

Ladies and Gentlemen,
This thread is a venue to express your thoughts and prayers towards the crews and families and towards each other. This thread will NOT be an hours debate or a flame fest.

Very sad to hear about this loss of our family and friends. If there is anything we at Mesa can do for you all at Colgan - please let us know. We're all in this together, and just as I was saying yesterday in my thread about people bashing Mesa - we should be here to help each other out, and to support one another. This is the very thing I was speaking about.

Lets put our differences, beliefs, name calling and everything else I have seen on this board aside - and lets focus on rebuilding a struggling industry, and helping those at Colgan get through this very tough time. My thoughts and prayers are with 3407's crew and passengers families, and also with those at Colgan. Please - let me know if I can be of assistance, or just if you need someone to talk to. I don't care if you need a buddy pass, or just a friend - I'll be here if someone needs me.

USMC-SGT ... thank you for starting a new thread. I knew the captain well and couldn't stand the way that other thread ended up.

My thoughts/prayers/condolences to all those who perished today in and around Colgan Air flight 3407.

May they all RIP

Thank you very much for your kind words. Very generous of you to offer a buddy pass to those in need to travel during this time.

I would also like to offer a buddy pass on USAir to anyone who may need one during this time of tragedy. I believe I have 8. PM me if you need any help or just need a friend to vent or turn to.

My thoughts and prayers are with all those lost and with all my fellow ALPA brothers and sisters. If there is anyway I can help, please let me know. I have 8 buddy passes on the Delta system if any furloughed, Colgan, or other folks need to get around to be with family or friends. PM me for deets. Fly safe everyone.

My thoughts to the families and friends of this tragedy.

Did I hear that eyewitnesses say they saw fire before the impact?

And where is that link to the ATC tapes?

Maybe somebody here who knew this crew could post some old stories/experiences they had so we could stay positive?

Perhaps that might cheer up someone.

Be safe out there folks.

It is to my knowledge that this thread was started in Memoriam, not speculation. Let's try not to get into "why" yet and just let everyone grieve.

As like everyone else, I extend any help to those in need and wish the best to the families.
