Notably, none of those allegations from the fired former chief(!) pilot actively suing the company while appealing his rejected OSHA case touch on in-flight procedures.

If any of those are true, it will be very bad for the carrier, but they are not related to any of the failures being reported on.

If pilots weren't being given enough rest time, as alleged, you don't believe that might affect decision-making in the cockpit?

  • Even if the pilots were getting their legally mandated rest, passenger pilots are held to a higher crew rest requirements because the lessons learned from Colgan Air only apply to passenger airlines. Even if that were enough rest the flight departed at what was likely their circadian low.
