Ameristar Fatal Crash Last Night

[NJA bound]

Anyone still working there hear any similar stories? How did they handle the other 2 fatal crashes? Didnt the girl who survived sue them?

That's interesting, the ntsb report shows pilot error, what would she be able to sue for?

Lastnight another Cpt and I did the same run as Dan and Terry did two weeks ago. It was a clear night and we asked them to give us the same vectors as they gave them for the Ils. We got the 220 heading and the same instructions to descend from 10k to 9k. I asked them where we were in relation to the site and he told us it was off of our left wing 1-2 miles. The area is pretty clear with one small mountain and tower located about 5 miles away at 7190ft hence the 9k ft altitude. The crash site is located about 15 miles from the airport at an elevation of 5700ft. This was no way a CFIT accident in my opinion. Lets let the NTSB figure out what happened and then decide who's fault it was.

To Mrs. Hughes and Mrs. Patty I give you ladies alot of credit for posting on here and reading all of this. There are alot of morons on this board who like to think they have the answers for everything and everyone. There are also alot of experienced pilots who know alot about AJI and flying. Dont make decisions on what you read on here but do listen to the common theme regarding the situation. I look forward to seing you both this saturday.

Thanks Bonzi! The Fund is doing nicely, thanks to many generous and thoughtful people on this forum and fellow pilots of AJI. Unfortunately, Freight Jock (Me) has been suspended for getting mouthy with the Website Master. I promise to behave now.

I have nothing to say to Ameristar other than Thank You. They have been nothing but kind and have done thier absolute best to return my husband to me. I am very grateful for all they have done. Now it's time to let the healing begin and rasie mine and my husbands children the way he wanted me to. There is nothing I can do about what happened it's done and I must now concentrate on our babies. I thank you all for all the wonderful things you have said about our husbands. Hope to see all you guys in Dallas.

I now they sound very sincere like they care very much, but please for your own sake don't deal with them unless it is through a lawyer. There are many of us on this forum that know the company very well so we are speaking from experience. Please protect yourself.

Very True.

Make sure you have a lawyer & sue them. Cuz they will definitely "stab you in the back"
