The pillot of that Comair flight that crashed in Lexington Kentucky has been released from the hospital . Has he made any statements regarding the crash?

It will probably take almost a year for the general public to know anything.

I live in Lexington and have not read of any statements made by Mr. Polehinke. Although this will ultimately be chalked up to pilot error, the government knows that there was negligence on their part, by having only one controller on duty. Had someone been watching the ground movement, this tragedy could have been averted. It's probably not as uncommon as people think for an aircraft to accidently be on the wrong taxiway or runway, however it is usually caught by ATC. It is a rule of thumb that crewmembers are expected to only give statements to the NTSB
or to the airline. They are always advised not to talk to the press.

I've not heard anything yet. I'm sure that the FAA and NTSB would hear something before the general public.

............ there are so many contributing factors in an accident ............ that is for investigating agency to find out .......... and as such there are no quick answers to an accident .... when so many safeguards are put in place of the operations of the aircraft ........ it is slow and time consuming effort ..........

Not if he has an ounce of common sense.
