Also, I noticed no mainline guys responded to this.

I understand the need to get airline pilots in America back to the standards they ought to be living at. However, there are people's lives at stake in the conversion process. There's pain to be experienced. Less RJ's means less jobs, unfortunately. Bad? For the industry, no it's not bad. For the pilots that no longer have a job and don't get picked up by mainline, yes it's bad. Not everyone can be the best of the best and get the mainline job. Some people WON'T make it there. That is a tough thing and acting like it doesn't exist shows a little too much pride and arrogance.

But what do I know, I just fly Bonanza's for fun
