[QUOTE=rickair7777;1228012]how is it MORE of a mainline airplane than CRJ 700/900? It's not[QUOTE]
If you showed this to a mainline pilot 20 years ago, he'd crap himself to find it's a regional. "Regionals fly props" he'd say. When you told him the pay, he'd laugh.
It's a regional if guys are flying it while making regional money. Hell, a 777 can be a regional if guys are allowed to fly it for **** wages. The sad reality is, many guys would jump at the oppertunity - all the while slitting their throats for career progression. SJS is a death sentence.
