I think crew fatigue needs more attention. Pilots are commuting and then trying to sleep in the crew lounge. They are not well rested, and that is dangerous.

[@organrick]

@@cremebrulee4759 I think so too. It said in this episode that it was against the rules to do that, but it sounds like they didn’t have some other place to take a nap, and they probably couldn’t afford an apartment or a hotel room. I had tried getting a job as a baggage handler recently, but haven’t heard back as I’m not willing to relocate, and can’t work the whole day on Sunday, so I’m probably ineligible. I can definitely understand the fatigue issue if they’re using pilots that are from Seattle, and I forget where the other location was, then flying them in, and not ones that are local to Newark or Buffalo.

[@Armor23OnPatrol]

[@stephenlupoli]

Why are their crickets sounds during the snow scene.

[@donaldallen1771]

Professional pilots are trained to ignore their instincts, which are often wrong in flight. Spatial disorientation, as experienced by JFK, Jr., is an example. And pushing the nose down to recover from a stall is another. In this case, Renslow stalled the airplane. The stick shaker went off because they had told the airplane that they were flying in icing conditions, so the stick shaker was set conservatively. The airplane had not stalled when it went off. Renslow's reaction was what stalled the airplane and caused the crash. Renslow should not have been in the cockpit of a commercial airplane. He failed a number flight checks, which he did not reveal to Colgan. This guy was not cut out to be a pilot and as a result, he got himself and a lot of other people killed.

[@aprendoespanol6833]

As a pilot, we are trained incessantly to develop reflexes to push the control column forward and add extra power to recover from stall

[@pilotactor777]

Have someone else fly the plane

[@MikeGreenwood51]

To set a minimum requirement whilst not helping in this case, seems a sensible amendment to rules if they were allowing less than adequately trained or experience newbies to take the controls with hundreds of passengers on board.

[@dalgrim]

@@MikeGreenwood51The 1500 hour rule, if anything, has made aviation less safe. The 1500 hours is almost universally done in a light single engine, probably Cessna 172 as a CFI. This rule forces anyone wanting a career in flying to teach primary training. This means those “hours” are mostly sitting in the right seat while someone else flys! Also, not everyone wants to teach, but now they have to. The incentivizes them to “teach” with a quantity over quality mindset. This in turn leads to lower quality instruction, which then follows with lower quality pilots being taught by them. The cycle continues. Tell me who is safer: a 1500 hour pilot that has only 25-50 hours in a 67000lb turbine aircraft and 1450 hours in a 2000lb piston cessna OR a pilot that has 600 hours but 400 of those are in that massive jet?

[@fredericklmeade2947]

The improvement in air safety is a little heralded major success. In the 1990s, it was predicted that at the rate the air industry was growing that on average there would be a major airline crash on average somewhere in the world. Things have obviously improved enormously in standards and regulation from lessons learned, though often applied years later than they should have been, have saved tens of thousands of lives and prevented countless losses and suffering by those left permanently injured or with a lost loved one. Air flight is safer than ever, and if service and passenger comfort could have had even marginally similar improvements we’d have a system I wouldn’t hesitate to fly. Instead, air travel has become a misery 90% of the time. My last flights and the airports were like subways at rush hour - but with less leg room than a subway! Now I do everything I can to avoid having to get on a plane and haven’t flown on an American airline in many years, which is basically a monopoly controlled by just three major national carriers.

[@haveagreatday-x1g]

agree

[@Bearwithme560]

But pilots are highly trained professionals, taught to understand flight technology and scenarios such as the correct way to recover from a stall, which is counter intuitive, so if the nose drops, you simply pull back in order to raise it. In the "real world", most unplanned stalls that occur happen because the pilot(s) were *distracted*, as well as fatigued (as was amply demonstrated in the video), and caught off-guard. That lack of anticipation caused them to fall back on muscle memory and pull up just because the nose fell without realizing what happened. If it's "unfair" to blame the pilots, upon whom, or what, does blame rest? This does not mean they are villains, but some human errors have more deadly consequences.

Or, failing those things (say, for newish pilots) you might want to help them out by, say, providing free/inexpensive temporary housing, low cost meals in the pilot lounge, etc. Easiest way, to my thinking, is to have small rooms off of the pilot lounge with beds, a buffet or similar for food, a shower, and bathrooms.

Holy sht they only get paid less than a Walmart manager. Yikes

Human knowledge is very limited, everything will fail, too much bragging and arrogance will lead to failure.

[@TheCreditDisputeCenter]

This is the crash that set the 1500 rule which is contributing to the pilot shortage the industry is experiencing now, yet in European countries young cadets can get hired by a major airline and get trained by that airline and go straight to the right seat of a major airliner. This level of steep regulation is deterring young people from becoming professional pilots.

[@Suisfonia]

It's yet another example of government over-reach. I get that a problem existed and yes it needed to be addressed, but it wasn't the governments business to get involved. This is something that the airline industry itself needed to resolve on its own.

Just like voepass 😨

Yaeh

[@Kiwi_NZ610]

How did the plane crashed????

[@jonhammer7109]

16 n 60 Grand a year. Ohhh god. Id jump off that as it began the down the runway if i found out. Ohhh no

[@Bearwithme560]

That enormous plane took out only one house?

[@eviljesus6111]

Those planes aren't that big

[@Bearwithme560]

@@eviljesus6111 There were so many photos of big planes interspersed throughout the video, that l didn't notice the size and make of theirs. Makes sense.

[@windsofmarchjourneyperrytr2823]

Having lived near 2 bog airports, I'm uncomfortable being in the flight path. I figure if it falls, that could be you. Plus, I saw LA Bamba several times. Ritchie's friend really DID have a plane fall on him.

[@greywolf1251]

I live in Buffao. I got a hold of the cockpit transcript. They were to busy talking not paying attention to flying. Below 10000 ft you must keep a sterile cockpit, only talk is about landing .they did not do this got caught of guard. and panicked.

[@grantstephens8327]

wow it's almost like that's exactly what they said in the video

[@armandoribeiro1181]

Even i as a youtube "pilot" if you forgive my analogy (but im a passionate for these air investigation videos, although without without any flying experience whatsoever) know that in a low airspeed warning (triggered by an actual low airspeed or by a mechanism made to prevent it by stick shaking in icibg conditions like in the case of some airplanes like this one, one shall pitch down (pitch down, speed up it's generaly the golden rule) it's unthinkable to imagine fully trained pilots would overlook this...but fatigue is a bad b***h and air companies know this well tho when profits come before lives, you have the perfect recipe to disaster. Stories like this one are sad, but sadly they needed to happen in order to make aviation safer and nowerdays the overal safeqt transportation method of all.yes, safety ritten in blood sadly, but nevertheless hopefuly for the best in the future. Only regret is that the executives that haven't ever been in a cockpit and overwork these pilots right to death literaly never get the punishment they deserve. When you have pilots paid less than bus drivers to fly more hours without due rest while executives get paid millions, you can easely see where the problem is and what causes it. What should be really tested is how to make executives prioritize lives over profit. Hopefuly we learn with such accidents and the industry becomes safer after each one of them, it's just sad that such safety has to be written in the blood of the inocent victims of the accidents that contributed to it. In all cases, really great video, as it's the use of your channel.

[@dennisyoung4631]

One wonders just how much these execs were paid…? I’d guess too much, agreeing with you.

[@tajmahal5572]

My goodness nursing job pays twice than what Pilot jobs Sad how they what more shifts low pay life's at risks 😢

[@sanebadger8018]

If you survive an airplane crash are you more unlucky to be part of one or more lucky to have survived one?

[@robinmitchell4443]

Do they check hospital personnel and how many hours they work. I understand the father and his grieving but his comments regarding the pilot was not necessary necessary necessary

[@dimitrageorgiadi5087]

This was definetly human error, on the fAA side. They caused this accident, not the pilots. All for the $$$$

[@furrybear7853]

What pilot wouldn't increase speed if that happened..

[@BigBratwurst]

what are those sounds woman be making 0:21

[@swavekm8743]

should of put all settings back to normal then speed up put nose down then level and up again i quess we can speculate but we were not there

[@janmale7767]

Money makes the world go round, so this kind of thing is almost impossible to eradicate,look at the truck drivers,(which i did for a while) they sleep for only 6 hours a day some as little as 4 hours , the rest of the time they are driving! If they are not willing to do it the boss finds another driver!
