The 190s coming on board has been a done deal for about 18 months. They are comperable to F100s Airways used to fly. The E170/175s (the ones that were sold out from under Midatlatic to RAG) are comperable to the F28s they used to fly. Don't act like it insulting to fly smaller jet equipment. Its insulting to fly jet equipment for T-prop rates.
Not my intention to sound insulting, however I do believe that someone who has been flying an Airbus as captain then being downgraded to fly the E190 that is trash, period. I don't care what's the spin is.
As for turboprop deal, you have to start somewhere. That is why they keep on bringing these types of equipments so you could get a better experience because they know that you want to move up and not stay there (regional). Now, I am not insulting anyone who wants to stay at regional for the rest for their lives; it is their decisions.
