So can we acknowledge that the new rules wouldn't have changed the outcome in this crash? This was pilot error pure and simple.
Yes, we can agree to that. However, 8 hours block to block needs to changed, along with other current practices. Hire more pilots. This isn't a sweatshop.
 
Funny how a major story of the day was new rest rules for truck drivers. After all, we got to protect those color TVs.

The race to the bottom is one thing for airline pilots. They hypocrisy of being both militant union members AND militantly anti-union politically. Truckers don't have that self created problem. Democrats don't move legislation ahead because we don't vote for them AND loudly vote against them. Republicans don't work for us bc they don't believe we're worth what were paid and don't believe in our union.

We need to solve that problem before any issue, whether contractual or regulatory will be addressed in our favor.

You may want Colgan families to do our work for us, but that's wrong and naive. It's our bodies, our sleep, and our problem.

Joe Merchant- you're an idiot.
 
instead of chasing the fatigue ghost, the families of this crash should be focusing on training people not to pull up when they should be pushing down. they could then go to france and lobby for the same training
 
Fatigue ghost??

Who do you work for? Ever work at a regional?

Perhaps he meant "fatigue ghost", as something that you can't see, can't definitively prove and is difficult to explain to Joe Public and Legislators.
