Okay, I see your point. But I think we may be talking about 2 different things here. If a person isn't good enough to work for a major, then they shouldn't be working for a regional. Period. Perhaps the regionals should be more stringent in their hiring practices in that case. Bad pilots are going to make it through the cracks at both regionals and majors.
