When it alerted them of an incorrect setting, they realized they had not actually completed the mandatory checklist to prepare for takeoff, according to the documents CNN obtained.</p>\n<p>\"Not doing your preflight checklist for takeoff is a potentially fatal mistake that cannot be overlooked,\" said Peter Goelz, a former managing director at the National Transportation Safety Board and a CNN aviation analyst.</p>\n<p><b>Lingering safety questions</b></p>\n<p>The FAA raised concerns with systematic issues, rather than identifying the problems as solely the fault of particular crewmembers.</p>\n<p>\"These events are representative of the more serious operational events that evidence poor airmanship trends, among other issues,\" the FAA wrote to Envoy Air. \"Collectively, these narratives point to issues that are deeper than what spot training or counseling have been able to resolve.\"</p>\n<p>The document described one unnamed pilot who challenged the results of a failed a flight proficiency test as someone who \"truly lacked knowledge concerning what is acceptable.\"</p>\n<p>The airline said several of the incidents identified in the FAA letter were identified by its safety program, which includes weekly meetings between Envoy and the FAA.</p>\n<p>\"We regularly share this data with the FAA to enhance the overall safety of our airline and the industry, and will continue to do so,\" the airline said.</p>\n<p>The documents come more than a decade after sweeping reforms were put in place to tighten piloting qualifications and training at airlines.</p>\n<p>The 2009 crash of Colgan Air flight 3407, which killed 50 people, led the FAA to change regulations including increasing the amount of experience required to fly for an airline. There has not been a fatal airline crash in the US since.</p>\n<p>\"The FAA is cracking down on Envoy, but you wonder if the other regionals are facing similar problems,\" said Goelz, the former NTSB official.</p>\n<p>A series of incidents led the FAA in the mid-1990s to re-write its rules and start holding regional and mainline carriers to the same safety standards. The standards, for example, now require the same minimum number of flight hours to work for both a regional and mainline airline.</p>\n<p>\"These documents show there's a still a long way to go and that the FAA needs to double down on the oversight of regional carriers, particularly during times of financial stress,\" Goelz said.</p>\n<p>The Air Line Pilots Association, representing nearly 60,000 members at 35 carriers, said safety practices in the industry have \"proven an effective safeguard to detect any circumstances that could affect safety.\"</p>\n<p>\"The airline piloting profession in North America is one of the most highly scrutinized careers, and airline pilots' professionalism has contributed to making air transportation the safest form of transport for passengers and air cargo shippers,\" the group said in a statement.</p>\n<p>Regional carriers including Envoy Air play a critical role in the US aviation industry, serving both to connect smaller airports with larger cities and hubs, and as a launching pad for young pilots to start their airline careers.</p>\n<p>The pay is lower than at the mainline carriers, and competition between the regionals for contracts with the mainline carriers is fierce.</p>\n<p>Four regional carriers closed during the pandemic -- including ExpressJet, which in early 2020 announced it would expand its fleet to serve United Airlines. Within a few months, United needed fewer regional seats and rival CommutAir won the bidding war.</p>\n<p>Regional carriers operate about 40% of scheduled passenger flights, according to the Regional Airline Association. The group says about 6-in-10 US airports are served only by regional carriers, rather than mainline service.</p>\n<p>Pilot skills and safety are coming into the spotlight again. Carriers are calling back crews who were sidelined during the pandemic -- and some admit not flying in weeks or months. After a hiatus from the cockpit last year, one pilot highlighted the issue in a government report: \"We definitely need to be more aware of how much our proficiency decreases as we are flying less.\"</p>\n<p>Dickson acknowledged the data-driven safety approach to aviation has been partly thrown off by the pandemic, including parked planes and sidelined crews.</p>\n<p>\"Covid has introduced a whole new set of risks,\" he said. \"We need to be a little bit circumspect and understand that there's been a lot of turnover. ...
