Article - "Do you know who is flying your plane?"

Another question that should be asked is "How tired are the pilots flying your plane?" Low pay, low training, low experience, high stress flying, and fatiguing schedules does not add up to a safe operation. But then again, it's all about saving a few bucks and hiring little more than student pilots.

It's funny that the article failed to mentioned the crew that mistakenly landed at Ellsworth Air Force Base instead of their intended destination of Rapid City Regional just a few years back.

I forget which regional that was.....

They also failed to mention the same airline few for 2 hours in no radio contact and 100 miles past their destination with 2 pilots snoozing, I mean intensely working on new scheduling software, no wait I mean engaged in a heated discussion about scheduling. No the 2nd one! yeah thats it!

Neither of those incidents killed anyone.
