Colgan Air was not an Airbus or a Boeing. It was a turboprop.
The common factor is the pilot hauling back on the stick in response to a stall.
Please note that we do not have any clear evidence that this is the case here but it is looking rather likely - only the final report will tell.
Why would any trained pilot be so bl**dy stupid ?
Something wierd is happening, this can only be explained by some kind of psychological reaction to the unexpected.
More automation to stop pilots crashing is probably not the solution, maybe we could filter out pilots suseptible to this reaction by putting everyone into into unpredictable and varied extreme stresses in the simulator and adding a stall at random. Anyone who fails is obviously made of the "wrong stuff" and should not be a pilot.
Any other suggestions ?.
