they're in buffalo by colgan, there was never a circumstance where there was an airplane accident inhis country where the accident report says this was caused by fatigue. but we know, of course, that there are a number of treanldz that were caused -- tragedies that were caused by fatigue. let me just point out something that we learned with respect to this particular flight. and my aassumption is that it's not peculiar to this particular flight. this is colgan before the flight, on that evening, the co-pilot who got in the right seat of that cockpit flown from seattle, washington, to laguardia airport. she lived in seattle and worked out of laguardia. she flew all night long, dead headed on a fedex plane to memphis, changed and flew to laguardia, all night long. the pilot commuted from florida and commuted from florida to laguardia. you have two people in a cockpit, one from florida that commuted to laguardia and one from seattle that commuted to laguardia. what we now have heard from testimony from the national transportation safety board is the pilot of that airplane had not slept
