Default RE: Comair plane took off from wrong runway

ORIGINAL: Flyfalcons

That happens all of the time. You walk onto a ramp in the morning with several planes parked and no release officially telling you which airplane you're using, so you go on what the gate agent told you. Release comes out, turns out you're in the wrong plane, so you grab your stuff and go to the correct one. It has happened to me several times in the last year.
But how could that happen, with different tail numbers on them? Don't those guys know their own plane?

This really IS an easy mistake....... especially on an originator....... How many RJs does Comair have? A few hundred?
