Comair Crash

[ALPO]

Was it a standup? Maybe a reduced rest overnight? I wonder if fatigue will be involved. Maybe the time has come for regionals to recognize pilot pushing.

God bless the families, friends and fellow employees.

Continious duty overnight, no rest requirement just total duty less then 16 from start time to finish.

Guys, we don't do CDs/standups/naps to/from ATL. We don't have a crew base there.

there is a CD from CVG-LEX, but not to ATL.

So you're saying the crew was on a CDO?

Amen, God bless the passengers as well.

My thoughts and prayers go out to all the employees, families and friends involved. Truly a sad day.

President just said that the crew had more than the required rest.

Good question. I was just watching the Comair news conference and the guy from Comair knew how many cycles were on the plane but said he couldn't comment on the schedule of the flight crew and how long the overnight was.

Whether this was a standup or not, they aren't safe. TC
