I don't know about the rest of you but I feel MUCH safer on the ol Colgan Q from BOS-EWR then I do when I grab the rental car and jump out on to wage battle on the NJT or make my way over to the BQE and LIE. (and trust me, their on-time performance is better then any of those drives)


Exactly. Even a "dismal operation" as in Colgan, the pilots are much more trained (ie it is much safer) then some (most) drivers on a road.
