The regionals have been doing similar flying as the majors, but there is a huge disparity in the quality of pilots. Mainline pilots are carefully vetted and have tremendous experience, whereas regionals will hire any one with a pulse and an ATP. The ATP was even optional until 6 months ago.
I love to hate this guy. He's a flame baiting troll...but unfortunately what he's saying is becoming a reality at the regionals. I've been here (RAH) for almost 8 years. Some of the guys and gals we're putting through training shouldn't be here. I absolutely loathe what our profession and this company have become:-(
