I must agree that the majors probably go beyond the call of duty with your training but it doesn't necessarily make you a better pilot if anything it just makes your life easier during training. The regionals have good training and if anything it makes it harder on the pilot. Most regional pilots are hard workers with tremendous experience in and out of busy airports etc. High quality I say. Most I have flown with put me to shame with knowledge and experience. I would have no problem putting my family on any regional aircraft. The bible talks about taking the log out of your eye before you see the twig in others. I have apply this as well.
