Default Roger Cohen's Lies

Trying to put together a list of lies that Roger Cohen has said. The last one i remember is that he said "All regional pilots hold Airline Transport Pilot Licenses", But can't find the newspaper article.
Can you find a lie and back it up with a link?

This guy is a D-Bag. He's definitely not on our side.

He's a real piece of work. He reminds me of JO. Scumbags

Guys settle down. He's the President of the Regional Airline Association. It's like a union for management. Who do you think he is representing here?

Thanks...


Roger Cohen, president of the Regional Airline Association, an advocacy group based in Washington, said that while individual airlines' training curriculum may differ slightly, all meet or exceed the FAA requirements for pilot training.

All regional airlines' pilots hold the Air Transport Pilot license, "the PhD of pilot licenses," Cohen said.

Nothing new here. Any time there is an accident which involves loss of life, the FAA reviews the airlines' training department.

Another thing that Cohen stated was that Pilot pay does not effect the safety of them flying.. which I beg to differ. Low-paid pilots with financial obligations generally worry on how they're going to be able to meet all of their responsibilities, what better time to do it than to think about it when you're at FL360 on a 2 hour flight? If you're not concentrating on flying, then you're not flying safe. It's part of the I.M.S.A.F.E. checklist that was drilled into our heads during flight school.

No doubt. They also spend their days off pursuing outside jobs/businesses...you would be foolish not to.
