Mary Schiavo compares regional and major airlines related to NTSB hearing on Flight 3407

Aviation attorney Mary Schiavo comments on the Buffalo crash investigation and says that the most surprising revelation in the recent NTSB hearings is the difference between the training and experience of regional versus major carriers. According to Schiavo, of the eight regional plane crashes in the past decade, seven have been attributed to faulty pilot performance, and both the airlines and FAA must be held ultimately responsible.
