ROCHESTER, N.Y. — A regional airline is blaming the pilot for the commuter plane crash that killed 50 people near Buffalo earlier this year.
Colgan Air says in a report submitted this month to the National Transportation Safety Board that the pilot's inattention and failure to follow safety rules likely caused Flight 3407 to plummet from the sky on Feb. 12.
An NTSB investigation exposed a series of critical errors by the twin-engine turboprop's captain, Marvin Renslow, and co-pilot Rebecca Shaw.
Not everyone agrees with the airline: Colgan, union differ on cause of fatal crash

$16K ain't exactly a lot of dough, especially for a college graduate who probably has student loans to pay off as well as flight-school tuition that isn't cheap, either. Was she working another job or two? Probably.Peregrine/AP
