Interesting commentary about the crash in Buffalo:

"I've never seen icing conditions," Shaw tells Renslow. "I've never de-iced. I've never seen any-- I've never experienced any of that. I don't want to have to experience that and make those kinds of call[s.] You know I'd have freaked out. I'd have, like, seen this much ice and thought, 'Oh, my gosh, we're going to crash."

"I'm thinking, 'You know what? I really wouldn't mind going through a winter in the Northeast before I have to upgrade to captain," she said.

Colgan Air acknowledged Monday that Renslow didn't receive hands-on training on the Dash 8's stick pusher, one of the plane's critical safety systems.
