Wouldn't it be funny if United bought Rjet and stapled them to the list. I'm just saying... Weirder things have happened.

Because 2 people allowed a plane to stall while on an ILS, then pull back DURING A STALL........2 PEOPLE!!!! TWO...
Explain to me how this ever came to happen???? OH YA, a training department did not fire a captain who should have never made it through upgrade training, and the paper trail shows it.
Colgan should have been sued SO MUCH it went CH 7, end of story. Its sad when you get bought to hide your sorry name, smells like valuejet I mean Airtran.
Too bad that flight wasnt a CAL owned XJ. Bet ya my life it would not have crashed.

U a far the most classless person I have ever read on here. U have no respect. I never once said anything bad about ur airline, and here u are talking crap about it. Ur already disrespectful by talking about what u have. Again, what do my dead friends have to do about fuel burn? I feel really sorry for ur family and friends. But I won't bash ur airline or their pilots. Nobody is better than anyone else on here. It saddens me that u have the typical regional mentality. I feel bad for u.
That blood is not on MY HANDS, its on CHUCK COLGANS, and your the one who is wrong trying to defend COLGAN. If you cared about them you would not be trying to say it could be ANY company, and it was not COLGANS fault.

Your trying to mask a seriously bad company's mistakes because you work there. Then turn it like I am the jerk because I talk about the dead.

Eagle landed and blew all 4 main (crew pumped the paring brake in flight)
XJT decided to try soft field landings in an ERJ
TSA reference post above
Colgan tried to expand their network by exploring new airports.
I am an Eagle FO, who do you work for. No one out there is exempt from mistakes, please stop doing what you are doing this on this forum because you are just aiding on the demise of our profession. Now, tonight PAN AM start maybe you can watch that and live your dreams in the couch because those days are long gone and we as pilots are not helping bring them back by doing many of the things we are doing today. We have an amazing profession, but we need to savor it and looks for ways to improve it and not continue the decline. So please stop.

I can't understand why all of you keep defending the colgan crash? No it could not happen to anyone. You put two people who lack the basic skills to monitor airspeed/ hand fly a plane and that's what can happen. If I had lost any family members on that flight I would of been furious! It was almost 100% pilot error and a perfectly good airplane.

in before the lock...
all airlines got ridiculous mistakes/accidents on their resumes. russian airline pilots let their kids fly. nwa pilots fly drunk. colgan slows to stall speed minus 20 knots. continental takes off with zero flaps and talks about the FA's swimming suit area. southwest uses 6500 feet on a 5500 feet runway. heck, nasa takes off below the minimum temp limitation and the whole friggin plane exploded after launch. what is your point? i dont know why the colgan crew continually gets run through the mud. let the poor guy rest.
so it too me a while to type/submit this. in that time, b 200 hawk beat me to the point. he was just far more eloquent.
