The RJ replaced mainline planes, mainline routes, and mainline pilot jobs.
Mainline pilots gave up scope in their contracts, and if mainline would hire pilots with just CFI experience then no one would want to go to a regional. You act as if people want to go to a regional carrier because it's their dream job. People go because they have to to get hired at mainline
