NTSB
Sorry I can't see how to quote anymore but Flight Safety pointed out the responses from the interested parties.
NTSB (maybe) - "We've been discussing icing for years..."
They've been discussing - and writing to the FAA - about pilot fatigue for years too but nothing changes. So, I will watch with interest to see what comes out of this re training.
Anyone who's flown for a regional shoestring operation will know that training can be pretty minimal, as others have already said. The tragedy here is that not only have 50 lives been lost but 2 of those were pilots at the beginning of their careers who would in all probability gone on to be top class experienced professionals had the training they received been commensurate with the responsibilities they were given.
Obviously I speculate but it has an awful ring of familiarity to me.
