The reporters must've confused the number of seats with the number of passengers. There were only 2 pilots on the plane.

work here in PVD...Colgan Air (USAirways express, last 2 digits on the acft is "CJ" which is Colgan's) 1900. NO PAX (thank goodness). Sounds like only 2 crew on a ferry flight from HYA-ALB. Location of crash just off the HYA coast. Reports saying it was having trouble right after takeoff.

I hate it how sometimes the media makes it out to have not been a horrible event because there were no passengers onboard. Pilots are people with lives, families, etc as well.

very true about the media, I think most of us here in the aviation world feel the same way about the loss of anyone in an aircraft incident, including the crew memebers.
