He was saying that alot of freight operators are crap and that the FAA isn't cracking down on them. I made the point that they are.

You just scared me. I thought this just hapened as you did not attach a date. I thought the FAA was already making an example or sacrifice of a carrier for the public. |

Everything in the media is good momentum for our cause. Write your reps and spread the word!
I've written many letters with only a few responses since the Colgan incident. I am now CALLING my senator's office. You are definitely correct in regards to the momentum, and we need more pilots to take action on this issue in order to push it forward. In order to contact the offices of your representative, call the White House switchboard at 202-224-3121 and request that office. Once connected, request to speak to someone in regards to the hearings in congress today on regional airline safety, and that you are a pilot. Make it known, that change must occur. Also, please pass that phone number on to other fellow crewmembers, either in the cockpit or in the crew room (excluding management). The more people we have in on this, the better this may turn out for us in the future. |
I like this WSJ article.
The Regional Airline Association, which represents the bulk of the nation's commuter carriers, is expected to tell a House panel Thursday that it is ready to develop new ways to study and combat pilot fatigue, including possible random tests of cockpit crews. |

That sounds like the best answer to me. Don't worry about revising duty/rest limitations, just start doing "fatigue tests":rolleyes: |

That should stop airplanes from crashing. Cause accidents have nothing to do with poor schedules, short overnights, low pay and long work days. |

I've always been told the first thing you do after you shutdown is erase the CVR. Is this possible to do any more?

On the CRJ we have the erase button.
But how long does it have to be pressed? |
