While isolated exceptions abound, the fact of the matter is the entry level major pilot is, on average, significantly more experienced than the entry level regional pilot. Anyone can, and does, make mistakes. Its not only easier, its way easier to get on with a regional than it is a major. That said, there are great pilots at both. But you're not seriously trying to imply there is zero difference *on average* are you?
No. THe comment was in response to brandx. I agree, everyone makes mistakes. No matter how long you've been doing this. I was simply putting it out there because of the comment he made of regional pilots not being "talented" enough to fly at the majors.
