Default Who's Flying Your Plane?

So after nearly a year of excellent reporting of Colgan 3407, The Buffalo News decided to run a multipart story on regional airlines starting today and running for the next few days. I only needed to read the first two paragraphs to know that this is a sensationalist piece at best, alarmist at worst. I'm highly disappointed at the story they ran and fear what the next articles in this series will look like.

Be sure to read the related content to the story to see how badly they slam the regionals.

A low impact piece from a tiny paper that no one reads, so who gives a crap.

The article has a few good points but mostly over ran with alot of bad ones.... The author tried to compare an FO with a doctor.... Well, actually doctors do learn on the job while someone else oversees and corrects their mistakes. Same wth regionals except the guys that are correcting the mistakes and coaching the FO's are called Captains...
