I wrote the article, so now ya'll have a target to fire at....
1. "The E175 is not a(n) RJ"... I agree wholeheartedly! Did you miss the part where I wrote that the new generation of RJs are regional in name only?
2. "A Day in the Life of an RJ pilot." A vs An aside (an is actually correct, as another poster mentioned) the title was chosen by the editor. It doesn't necessarily describe the content of the article, which I would say is more about regional pilots and their place in a changing industry. I framed it within the device of a single flight. "Musings of a (so-called) RJ pilot" would probably be accurate.
So far as the content is concerned, I think I pretty accurately conveyed the turmoil in our corner of the industry and the challenges faced by our overall pilot group, considering I'm writing for a largely recreational pilot audience that isn't very knowledgeable with conditions at the regionals and isn't predisposed to be horribly sympathetic to airline pilots in the first place. Your mileage may vary.
