Remind me never to fly any air carriers attached to any of the following names:

I've never seen icing conditions. I've never deiced. 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 calls. you know I'dve freaked out. I'dve have like seen this much ice and thought oh my gosh we were going to crash.

And the Buffalo News reports:

Capt. Marvin Renslow did the exact opposite of what he should have done trying to pull out of a fatal stall that led to the crash of Colgan Flight 3407, the chief test pilot for the Bombardier Q-400 testified this afternoon.

"That's the most I've seen … most ice I've seen on the leading edges in a long time," Renslow said [on the cockpit voice recorder].

A minute later, Renslow noted that he was hired by Colgan Air, which operated the flight, with just 625 hours of flying experience.

"That's not much for uh back when you got hired," Renslow said.

The plane's "stick shaker," a stall warning device, activated at 10:16 p.m. for nearly seven seconds. During that time, the safety board said, Renslow inappropriately pulled back on the plane's yoke, pushing its nose upward. That altered the airflow over the wings and sent the plane tumbling.
