Sterile Cockpit over the Hudson

[Bruno82]

As for the Colgan crash, from what I've heard, they didn't seem to be violating sterile cockpit while configuring. They weren't chatting while configuring or while the airspeed was dropping off.

It would be a double standard if the outcomes/situations were equal, which they are not.

Violation of the sterile cockpit was contributory to one of the incidents and not the other. Thus why the situations are handled independently.

So driving drunk is only wrong if you kill someone? That's essentially what you're saying.
