Of course it was not. However the fact of the matter is the general public when hearing the poor wages of these pilots will indeed question if they are in hands of true professionals whom are fit to fly them from point A to point B. At the end of the day now that things are public it appears many factors will be determind to be the cause of the crash. Lack of experience in icing, lack of training on recovery from a stall in the plan being flown, not maintaining a sterile cockpit under 10,000' to just begin. Now dont get me wrong, have I been on planes where under 10000' there's talking? Hmmm yes, however now that this is all being brought to the public eye pay is one of MANY items that will be examined along with work rules. As a PILOT I dont see this being a bad thing for them to examine. Maybe in some weird and cruel way this will light a fire under executives at regionals.
