Oh really????? Maybe you might want to think about editing that sentence there, Maverick!
You're saying that if an airline had an accident a month or something like the old Aeroflot day for example you'd have no issues working for them... or putting your FAMILY on that particular carrier?
Wow.......
Listen to me ICEMAN. I do not think I have to take or edit any of my sentence. Were all entitled to our own opinions. You cant judge the book by its cover. The regionals in the US honestly are unsafe and some of them do bend the rules or do some dangerous things to keep the operation alive. If I do not want to fly as a passenger or put family on something, its the US regional airlines especially after the ATP rule that went into effect and hurt the airlines. Which lead them to hire poor quality candidates just to fill the quantity gaps. And I do have a good example of someone who flies for a regional and had served time for involuntary manslaughter and a DUI. So you want to fly with someone with that background. I am sure someone like you will still think that's safe but no, id rather fly on FLY DUBAI or any other carrier which is not a regional here in the US. I hope I make myself CLEAR ICEMAN.
