training and culture are a huge part of this accident.
as to the 18000dollar piece of equipment...there is already a localizer receiver on the plane...tune it to runway 22 ils (gs ots, but loc ok) and the "needle" would center up if the plane was on the correct runway.
ask comair if they trained their pilots to do that?
demanding excellence as standard by the company would help...but there is a quid pro flo there.
also note that comair was in talks to lower pay to all employees at the time or approx time of the accident...
