Lab Rat...Excellent point...Now lets look a little deeper into this issue...

You talk about CPAs and Doctors....How many CPAs and Doctors start all over when they change employers? How many CPAs and Doctors divide their professions into "regional" and "mainline"? Do they use "career expectations" as a method of measuring "worth"?

These issues create a lot of "friction" among "brothers". If you are going to claim that regionals are less safe, then you better not land a 767 on a taxiway......

This is one screwed up "profession".....No doubt about it....
