This Week’s Question |Previous Week’s Answers

PREVIOUS RESULTS ***

Last week, we asked AVweb readers whether they buy into concerns about safety problems on the regional airlines.

Most do, with 40% of those who took a moment to answer our question saying that overworked, underpaid, and underappreciated pilots and airline staff equals potential disaster. Another 36% said there was still investigation to be done into the matter but recommended federal oversight authorities look closely and objectively at working conditions and maintenance.
