Did anyone see the piece CNN showed on Gulfstream Int'l about 215p today?. Please tell me somebody else watch those weasels (their Mgmt and Training academy) justify putting 300 hrs wonders into ANY cockpit?. I'm still boiling.

This is all a bunch of crap, it is politics as usual.

The first line in the article says the FAA will make sure "regional airlines' training programs are in line with federal regulations." Hello, airline are in line with federal regulations, the problem is with the federal regulations.

There is not any regulation that states a maximum busts and still fly 121.
The addressed that Shaw was tired on 3407, but Colgan was well within the duty regs.

This drips with irony that the FAA is looking for what the problem is. Like when OJ said he was going to look for the real killer.

Of course, this is just political posturing. Once the media craze dies down and the politicians can't get support using this, they'll go back to ignoring the airlines and making corny one-liners about airline peanuts and added fares.

If you've done your job as a professional aviator, you have nothing to worry about. In fact, you should probably welcome an audit from the FAA of your company's training department...there would probably be some good to come out of it.

I haven't read the papers in a while so forgive me if my question has already been answered, but did O.J. ever find the real killer?
