I agree. I saw a compass e175 the other day and I truly can`t believe how large it is and why people consider compass a regional. It's one thing to see a 76 seat jet flown by a regional for RESPECTFUL wages but its another thing for them to be flown at 50 seat RJ wages.
All airline pilots really do need to grasp the fact that the fast growing 50 to 100 seat market is hurting the hopes of any regional pilot looking to get a job at the majors. ALPA“s stance seems to be... let it happen.
