Did Colgan recently change their requirements, or has it always been listed as 1000 hrs total?
This will be the impetus for Colgan to be fully merged with Pinnacle. PCL ALPA will get their wish of one list/one company, although a tragic crash was not the best way for it to happen.
Stick pusher training is not part of any program I have seen. I've had it demoed for me in the sim because I wanted to see what it looked like, but not a part of required training.
A rather prescient bit of "show me this," huh?
The upgrade program at PDT doesn't include it... because the -100 sim in CLT doesn't have a pusher. However, when we were going gangbusters and renting sim time elsewhere, if the sim was a -300 (SEA), you saw a fluke push (not due to a stall). From the folks who saw it, it was a mad scramble to hang on and remember where that danged shutoff switch was.
Every one of them had the same initial reaction.... and take a wild guess what that was.
Well, Colgan has hull/liability through Delta's aircraft insurance co. Suits will probably be made against CO, FAA, Bombardier, Flight Safety, the Pilots estates, New York Port Authority, Buffalo Airport Authority, Alaska/Fedex/Ups (all mentioned in the CVR), the manufacturer of the stick shaker, pusher, ice itself, ALPA, Allah, Yahweh, Dali Lama, God, etc.
The FAA can't be sued.
Yes Erlanger dude, they can be sued!!
It has happened before!!
Yes,Colgan probably is toast!!!
The FAA can't be sued.
