This is spot on! I believe what CrippleHawk is trying to say is that other Part 121 Carriers are doing the same things. Although they might not be time shaving all the time or pushing MEL'ed airplanes all the time, I think it only takes once. AND Here's your kicker. If you say anything to anyone about the corners you're cutting through the FARs and you boss finds out... You're canned, because they know they find someone to replace you in the blink of an eye....

Summed up for all of us... FML ;)

The most damning item in the whole show was the Colgan Director of Ops, Dean Badanavais standing up for the Captain who falsified the weight and balance. If you get caught with your pants down, you don't tell the FAA this was one of your best Captains, you tell them you fired his butt. It was very illustrative of the attitude of management.

Even more disgusting was then going after the F/O who had the cojones to blow the whistle on the idiot.

You guys read about the PSA incident in CRW??? What! They weren't being safe. Not adhering to sterile cockpit. We should start calling there company unsafe and why the heck would anyone wanna work there. Nope cause every airline has its issues. Move on from this Colgan crap GEESH!!!!!!!!

Dude, why do you have your ratings listed as your sig.......................?

isnt kind of understood that Airline Pilots that come from the civilian pool have all of these?

Didn't Sully and Skiles violate sterile cockpit? Just saying.

He did them all and got a job as an airline pilot at 270 hours... at Colgan

Colgan has put alot of pilots at other carriers out of jobs. They have been known for poor mx and force pilots to fly broken planes. CO rewards them by putting 15 more Q400's in IAH. This is why the industry needs to be changed. They have undercut numerous carriers.

The spokesman for the RAA is one sketchy dude...not helped by his fake tan.

before going tooooo deep into this.... what's your DOH? You seem awfully niave about the industry, and especially about your own company. Were you hired AFTER the accident?

Yep......... I'm just saying
