Default RE: Comair plane took off from wrong runway

I think it's around 168 right now, of which 20 or so are 70 seaters. Lexington, Portland, Raleigh, and LaGarbage are some examples of one gate leading to multiple aircraft on the ramp. In the morning they are all parked there and the gate usually doesn't have the release yet, so they get word from Ops on which aircraft we're supposed to take. Most of the time they are right but sometimes the paperwork comes out with a different tail number. This is just another example on how the media will report on some minor issue as if it has uncovered some major system-wide flaw.
