    Oh,no no no no no no no no time to suspend some licenses and fire some managers or shut down a company.This is unacceptable,this was preventable and anytime lives are lost for preventable reasons serious actions must be taken.This company was definitely negligent and reckless.They refused to follow orders set forth by the safety commission and must be punished for their reckless behavior

    For all of you screaming about the low pay. My brothers is a pilot & has been working for a regional airline for a few years now. Big international jets get the big bucks. Little regional guys get squat & yes their hours are getting longer. The professional conduct of my brother prevents this sorta stuff which ground crews can cause too. He’s now to the point of applying to be a police officer b/c the pay is better. How about you only comment if you actually know someone in this industry.

    “proper equipment to tell pilots that they’re flying too slowly”

    LOL

    Common sense? I thought pilots are supposed to log over 1.000 hours in test flights before they can get a licenses. Perhaps I am mistaken.

    Fucking Unions, they are already blaming low pay for the accident.

    Bunch of fools.

    Money hungry son of a bitches. They are no better then the CEO’s of major Wall street firm. They pretend they aren’t like them, when in fact, they are fucking worse.
