Have some pride gentleman.
Excellent disertation on how regionals are becoming unsafe because of hiring low time pilots. There is a reason.
The regionals are hiring low time pilots because the "high time experienced pilots" won't come back; their pride won't let them.
Pay and pride is keeping them from making regional operation safer.
What happened to "proactive safety . . .where the professionals take every chance they can to improve safety ? "
I think some of them have the attitude, "Let the accidents begin so I say I told you so." and that's not professional.
