I do hope United can recognize the failings of express jet, bring some flying back to the mainline and make sure we don't hire from express jet pilot group.
This guy is quite the comedian! So, you're main complaints are what exactly? That the flying can't be staffed? That MUST be the pilots' fault. I'm sure if you volunteered in your free time to pick up some XJT flying for pennies, they'd greatly appreciate your experience.
If you honestly think it's the RJ pilots' fault, you clearly haven't spent any appreciable time seeing what the scum of the operation, in your opinion, has to deal with.
Have you ever seen one baggage handler loading all the checked bags and gate-checked bags? I have. Have you ever had to call 6 times to get your lav serviced because it was overflowing from lack of attention on the three previous hub stops? I have. Have you ever had to beg for ice or commissary on a 30-minute turn and be completely ignored? I have. Have you ever had to wait to board because a gate agent was busy boarding another flight? I have. It must be a nice view from your 767 throne where support staff kiss your toes while we all fight over the scraps.
