agreed...it will be interesting to see if anything comes in lieu of this...I know at Mesaba we have already started training to recover after stickpusher....just sad that people have to die for things to get attention and change

Who is this Roger Cohen idiot? Does this guy seriously not care about other human lives? Man I thought Colgan had some serious problems after watching the special, but clearly no one has more problems than Roger Cohen.

I'd be interested in average for Fo's at Colgan or lets just say average first year it's misleading to talk about an overall average.

I feel a little ashamed but I didn't know that code shares indemnify their mainline carrier for all liability.... that is a HUGE incentive to shift as much flying to a regional as you can even disregarding pay.

Overall VERY good reporting on the part of PBS, I feel like I should make a donation to them.... maybe 2% of my salary, more reports like that are worth an ALPA amount.
You are joking right when you say skywest is helping industry pay? skywest, republic, colgan, pinnacle, airtran, virgin america are all bottom feeders bringing industry down. But hey their low-cost structure will survive and they will be here for long time dragging us all down.

roger cohen is an idiot.

...OVERALL a sub-par investigation, WAY to non objective.

But it did bring a few things to light...to the public (probably all 45 watching it below the age of 65)
