no clue
Forget about him and his statement.
This guy mixes up the technology he was used to on the Hindenburg with the one used on modern turboprops.
Wise guys like him shouldn`t be allowed to take part in the discussion.

This is sad, the economy the way it is and he wants to ground all turbo-props?? that would be disaster for some companies, that could kill them. I mean, this is exactly what we need right now, more furloughs...How long would Piedmont, Horizon, Colgan, and all the prop operators last with their prop fleets grounded??? not long.....what he proposes is absurd
What about the corporate props, King Airs, PC12s, Avantis, ground them as well????
This makes me so mad

This guy lost all credibility when he went to work as a "consultant" at a law firm which makes money suing airlines and pilots.
He is a moron when he makes statements that turboprop fly slower than jets so therefor they spend more time in the ice and are more likely to suffer icing. Anyone who thinks this is the reason why props pick up more ice is a moron. Maybe it has to do with the fact that props live in the weather and jets fly above it? Hmmm, maybe?

Anyone want to take bets that this shark and his ilk at his firm, are trying to squew public opinion, prior to approaching the families of those that died, to represent them. The airlines should start collecting the names of these idiots and black list them from flying commercially, (seems you could argue they like to cause trouble and could start a riot by stirring up the people in the back of the plane... 
)or mabye Im just had it up to my neck with idiots, that think they are experts...God Bless the families of everyone lost, and may our lost brothers and sisters on the flight crew rest in peace. I got to stop stressing over these people I cant pass a medical with my blood boiling...

PATHETIC. Im sick of this fear mongering by these special interest groups and media morons. Does anyone freaking care anymore for the victims of a tragedy or does everyone automatically first thing start thinking of ways to benefit themselves because people were killed.
All the information the media has puked out on this incident, the fact to crap ratio is literally 1 in 100. and thats being generous.
