I don't want to hate on the CRJ drivers. As I said in another thread, I have nothing but love for XJet. I guess I understand (as a guy that is new to the majors) that we need commuter jets to get pax from smaller airports to the main hubs and larger equipment. I guess it falls to ALL of us to not let management divide us as a pilot group by utilizing the 50+ seat issue in contract negotiations.
