The more news I read and see about flight 3407...
... (the commuter plane that crashed near Buffalo last week)... the more I think it was a pilot error problem. It appears that the pilot had only 2 months experience flying a turboprop and his flight assistant was only like 25 years old... I wonder how much experience she had flying a turboprop AND in bad weather conditions.
And they also had the plane on autopilot which they shouldn't have been doing.
Newark to Buffalo is what... like a 1 hour flight? Why was it on autopilot?
I would never fly in a turboprop anyway... but damn... you expect every time you get into a plane that the people flying know what they are doing.
What a horrible fuckin tragedy that I feel was most likely totally avoidable. Of course we'll find out more as time goes on... but I'm thinking heads at Continental and Colgan will roll.
