Regional Airline Association establishes safety council

A new Regional Airline Association Safety Council was approved by the association's board of directors yesterday, as part of its continuing reaction to the Colgan Flight 3407 which crashed on approach to Buffalo just over a year ago. The council is made up of safety representatives from the RAA's 32 member airlines and will be chaired by SkyWest Airlines Dave Faddis with American Eagle Captain Ric Wilson as vice chair.
