Not bragging, but I am saying I am not impressed by a young crew working for a fraction of what a traditional crew used to make.

The RJ replaced mainline planes, mainline routes, and mainline pilot jobs.

20-year-olds were flying loaded B-17's in the dark of winter in formation for 4 hours to flak-ringed German cities defended by clouds of fighters. And back to a fog-shrouded base possibly with a damaged aircraft and wounded crew.
