Sad

The airplane stalled on final. Pilot error. When the feds and the media get done with this. Heads will roll.

There is way too many problems leading up to this event. Captains training records, CVR dialog, Colgan's training, rest issues etc.

Colgan will surely catch flames for this. Hopefully it will give the general public an idea of the qualifications of crew members and recruiting practices of the commuters.

$18,000 per year as an airline pilot. What can you expect. We can only hope the industry raises the bar.
