Prayers to friends and family for comfort

After years in aviation first thought is CFIT.  The Feds did issue a call for action against small carriers about pushing these boundaries. My heart does go out to the passenger and his family just traveling. My heart does too for the crew and their families. 

This will call for a much higher action from the Feds to carriers due to loss of life.

A company that grew so big so fast with so many different facets cannot keep up with the safety in aviation. The culture has to change from the cowboy days of flying and it does look like it from my place that it hasn't at Ravn.  

The logic of its more likely to die on the road than a plane should never be used. Customers are using their life and money to fly and travel up here. It's a dang crime to use that bottom line vs getting Alaskans where they want to go.  

Ravn officials were not available for comment because they were in stocks by the Feds. And rightfully so....
