Transcripts from the cockpit voice recorder in the last seven minutes before Flight 3407 crashed Feb. 13 near Buffalo, N.Y.:
22:10:32 — First Officer Rebecca Shaw: Oh yeah, oh it's lots of ice.
22:10:47 — Captain Marvin Renslow: "Oh yeah, that's the most I've seen, most ice I've seen on the leading edges in a long time. In a while, anyway, I should say.
22:10:57 — Shaw: Flying in the Northeast, I've 1,600 hours. ... I had more actual time on my first day of IOE (initial operating experience) than I did in the 1,600 hours I had when I came here.
22:11:31 — Renslow: But, uh, as a matter of fact I got hired with about 625 hours here.
22:11:37 — Shaw: Oh wow.
22:11:39 — Shaw: That's not much for, uh, back when you got hired.
22:11:42 — Renslow: No but, uh, out of that ... 250 hours was, uh, part 121 turbine, multi-engine turbine.
22:11:50 — Shaw: Oh that's right yeah.
22:11:54 — Shaw: No, but all these guys are complaining, they're saying, you know, how we were supposed to upgrade by now and ... I'm thinking, you know what? I really wouldn't mind going through a winter in the Northeast before I have to upgrade to captain.
