How about this instead of looking to justify a 16hr duty day because another career field may work that long. TAKE a stand and improve the career field you got into! :rolleyes:
 
In my opinion, Colgan Management murdered that poor girl and those pax for only for a $16,000 a year job. It cost them nothing to do it, if you account all the money the airlines stuffed in there pockets for decades.
The shame is that most people in America will never realize the truth because, we only care about the get rich or die trying mentality which we believe everyone is entitled too.
 
What really needs to happen here is Colgan crews call in fatigue! If they have worked you to the bone use the new fatigue awareness program and make the call! This should be happening industry wide, and if people are getting disciplined let it be know!
It's a golden opportunity, especially with all the media attention on Colgan and the regionals. Are pilots going to take a stance against fatigue, or continue to live in fear of management? What would your Union tell you to do?

I know before I was furloughed XJTALPA was very Pro fatigue call.

I respect your opinion but disagree. It is one's choice to commute, not required. Regardless of pay, that is the decision of many, majors included. I may seem biased, but I spent all of my glorious days as a regional pilot in base. I couldn't wrap my head around traveling around in airplanes on my days off. I understand cost of living concerns, but if you can't handle the commute and show up shredded, you shouldn't be working, period. That responsibility is on the person to be fit. I quit my gig after eight straight months of 100 hrs. block. I was shredded, I quit.
