Comair FO leaves hospital for rehab

[Crzipilot]

The Kallita crew that rolled one and landing in Gitmo a few years back. I believe the capt. lost his leg, went through it and got his medical back.....Think he continued as capt as well....

I hear that the FO from the Brasilia ASA crash is a frikin stud.

Dude, he's missing his leg! Also, I believe the FO from ASA retired after his crash.

I met an Eagle CA not so long ago who lost his leg in a motorcycle accident. He was back in the saddle... Kudos to him.

The Comair FO's problem may be that the company won't be able, insurance wise, to allow him to return to the line. Would love to see it happen, but this poor guy has a tough row to hoe.

Yo... Prop!!! S.H. passed his checkride!! I know he really thanks you for not bidding back EWN!!!

I think the problem is Boomer2 is that everyone is sugar coating this and your not. Your being direct.

He wont be able to fly due to crew negligence. Insurance would have a fit. I hope he continues to fly. I dunno about 135 maybe. I'm sure this accident will go on his record and being pilot error, I dunno if he will ever be able to get a job. What insurance company for whatever 135/121 company would hire someone with that on his record. Maybe I'll be wrong. Its extremely unfortunate! I hope he has a speedy recovery

I feel awful for everyone. Wished this never happened!

And why would this guy want to get back in an airplane? Yeah mistakes happen but come ON. I wager he will never be back in an airplane.

Its got nothing to do with him flying the airplane you or your family will fly on.

Sad thing is this guy would probably now be the most by-the-book, double-check guy at Comair.

Are you referring to the DC-8 at Gitmo? I beleve that was Buffalo Airways if I am not mistaken. The FO was - or is a POI at ASA. Was in the brief on my type-ride on the RJ.
