She has been working on that private training for 5 years, she liked it to try and hook up with pilots, oh the stories I have heard.

I could not help but send a nice long email to the reporter and the programing director about their training "expert," and gave examples on how Gina has tried to push me to fly. This recording was journalism at its worse.

I'm glad you did write them...they need to know how WRONG they were to use her as a credible source of pilot training at a 121 operator.

the audio portion is on the top of the link on the news site that Juice put in his post.

Worst interview ever. I do believe I've lost some IQ by listening to this.

She moved to BUF because her boyfriend is a Colgan FO up there. She wasn't grief stricken because of the accident. If you were, why quit 5 months post-accident? She was in love and didn't want to move to MEM.

She's a complete idiot. And who meets for an interview in a Tim Hortons?!? Classy NPR.

I sent a long email to the reporter about the embarrassment of that story for their radio station. She responded back asking if I would like to be interviewed. I told her "no" and that they should remove that ridiculous interview.

For those of us that knew Gina it makes this thing even more pathetic. Even Joe remembers her and he has been gone for a while.

And I do miss Tim Hortons as well from time in New York.

Good man. I'm writing an email to the station also.
