Default Kirksville: duty cycle and professionalism

Let's not start a "trial by press" espeically with the dramatized report
in USA Today. Start by looking at the NTSB report itself for the
actual facts. Note that the NTSB conclusions are not admissable
evidence because they are hearsay. A jury must be presented with the
facts and allowed to draw its own conclusion.

and myriad others, as the NTSB findings are now widely reported:


"A pair of wisecracking pilots on duty for 14½ hours made several
grave mistakes just before crashing more than a mile from a runway in
Missouri, killing themselves and 11 others, federal investigators said
Tuesday."
