Some of you guys that have never experienced a winter flying in and out of the NE part 121 need that before you have any business being Captains on an aircraft in part 121 ops.

I'm not bashing all the guys out there with all this 135 experience, but there is a big difference between being able to hand fly an ILS to mins in a Piper Navajo and making command decisions while flying a CRJ 900 or a E175 in and out of some of the busiest airports in the world.
