I, respectively, have to disagree with some of what you said. The majors are the ones that really don't care about 91 busts but that just isn't the case at a 121 regional. In fact CommutAir's (could careless if I misspelled it) second question on their application is just that very question. Their HR lady (who is really great BTW) personally told me the "back room" had passed me over since I disclosed. She actually said she thinks it is very unfair as well.
About six months ago I was involved in a discussion with a recruiter from XJet about this very subject. They indicated this stigma will have to be relaxed going forward into the the post HR5900 era or they won't be able to fill the anticipated classes.
