Colgan Air crew experience.

[GuppyWN]

They had every right to be in those seats. They went through the training that is designed to weed the weak and award the capable.

My nephew got hired by American Eagle this past summer with 600 TT, they put him in the right seat of the companies 70 seater...Do the math, it is what it is.

Colgan has a competitive training program, they wouldn't have put two people in a modern turboprop that were a risk to the operation.

Certainly you're not THAT naive. I answer your question with another question.

Weather is crap. Thunderstorms everywhere. Windshear here and there. Who you want in the saddle? Me, with almost 13000 hours, most of it in the 737, or your nephew with 600 hours, 150 of in in the mighty seminole?

even more, wonder what the flying public wants?

(of course "it is what it is")

I do NOT want some 500 TT wonderboy in the cockpit

Good Luck though...

It is what it is....the regionals dont typically have 13000 hour pilots Mr Gup.....if we're gonna start judging by experience you can ground dozens of flights every day in this country. Commuters/Regionals are stocked full of low time pilots building their hours trying to get to that almighty guppy of yours to claim your precious pay check. I stand by my statement that both pilots we're qualified and giving geographics they had flown in ice and snow.

...but they want to fly from LGA to MCO for $99/RT.

No airplane is certified to fly in severe icing. Severe icing is that in which the aircrafts de/anti icing equipment cannot remove or prevent. Only remedy is to leave the conditions.

I want YOU, but I don't want your captain from the Midway accident, or the guy that hit the gas station...
