All the responsibility none of the authority
Shades of Roselawn?
That accident moved all the "commuters" from 135 to 121.
I wonder how this is going to play out, as I'm sure all the carriers have had revisions to their operations manuals, and the inspectors all reviewed all the applicable FARs and the 8900.
It will be interesting to see what shakes out.
The big questions:
1) Did, in fact, the inspectors approve all the training programs in accordance to the standards set forth by the Agency?
2) If the first question is answered in the affirmative, what does this hold for the FARs, the 8900, and the approval process as we know it today?
3) If the first question is answered in the affirmative, will there be the comparison to the "major" carrier training programs that have had recent accidents, or will there be an overhaul of the entire training system similar to when the CRM programs were introduced?

Instead of reviewing regional airlines training, may be they (FAA) should review their duty time limitations regulations. May be instead of having someone in OKC just write the regs, (s)he should actually fly a few trips and see what the "8 hour" overnight really is, etc..

An 8 hour overnight can equate to maybe 6 hours of sleep, sometimes less. Must be exhausting after a full duty day! But wait, "the rules" are suppose to keep pilots from being tired, isn't this correct?
:crazy: It's not my place to say if the training should or shouldn't be under review but I certainly think that duty time limitations should be looked over with great attention and make drastic changes to improve them. I believe that common sense and a basic understanding of human needs are severely lacking at the FAA. A positive change for pilots is way over due.
