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.

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.

I don't perceive it, I live it every day. I have never been pressured to "move the rig" and never asked to fudge paperwork. I will stand up the the flight crews that I know and fly with every day. They are very professional and perform just as well as any mainline crew I have witnessed from a jumpseat!
