High pay should not be confused with flight safety.

Also if ALPA claim low pay was a factor in this accident (as it probably was for fatigue reasons) then they have to accept that their infatuation with seniority lists and major carriers is not helping the vulnerable younger pilots in the commuter industry. The US unions management of change has failed to cope with the change in the airline industry since 1979.

Wages are not a factor in the value of CVRM so please do knock safety initiatives for irrelavent reasons.

CVRM, coupled with a Safety Management System, would be an excellent way to counter some of the pressures seen in the Colgan accident and this CNN report:
Secrets pilots won't tell you - CNN.com
That is because the airline management could not claim they didn't know what was really going on or hide under the facarde that they have never had an accident.

This thread gives another justification for CVRM http://www.pprune.org/rumours-news/4...00-meters.html
