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.
I won't argue with any of that, but this is just replacing existing hardware with similar, but more efficient hardware. It's nothing new.
SJS is what it is, all we can do is try to educate kids (which I've been attempting since 2006, not sure if I've had any success or if that's even possible).
