….I hit the enter button before I was done.

My heart goes out to all of the families affected by this accident.

My comments about inexperience have to do with the proliferation of commuter airlines that use low wage pilots trying to break into a flying career. These pilots have all appropriate licenses and FAA qualifications, but have low experience when compared to pilots at major air carriers such a United, Delta, American, Northwest, etc. They are usually willing to fly poor schedules at low wages in order to gain experience that may lead to a job for a major airline (that until recent history hired mostly pilots with military experience). Over the last several years, Airlines have become good at marketing commuter flights under their national logo, which makes it hard for a consumer to know exactly what they are purchasing. It seems everyone shops for a cheap ticket rather than looking at all of the variables. I personally do not allow my family to travel on commuter carriers and I recommend against doing so to my friends.
