There's already a bunch of data out on the Colgan crash in Buffalo.....it is starting to take shape. Isn't this the same company that sank a 1900 off Massachusetts a few years back? In the flying world they have always been considered a "bottom feeder" would you agree?

My point? When you plan a trip and get an itinerary, there always seems to be a leg on a regional that should be looked into. I know the big guys crash too, but it seems riskier if your trip includes a leg on Colgan, Comair, Go, Mesa etc.....

Does anyone out there actually choose an itinerary so as NOT to fly on one of these airlines?

Great youtube video! Always loved the Bud Light commercials.

"you put the fly in fly-by-night"

That was never aired on TV. Someone put it together although the voice over is genuine, BDWSR didn't air the radio ad from what I recall or stopped airing it quickly.

Shameful post....almost as bad as the liberal media that is reporting on this tihs. Stupid is as stupid does.
 
Regardless of the causes of the crash, it looks like the FAA needs to change their approach to STALL recovery techniques. Since the regionals are the starting point of pilot careers, there will always be inexperienced pilots at them. Some regional cut the corners more than others. Only pilots in the industry would know which ones to avoid.
