On a five leg day with full flights, I can transport up to 380 pax. Big deal, you can spin it any way you want. The bottom line is, we are all held to the same licensing, safety and performance standards. We are all pilots transporting pax for the Delta brand. Should a CRJ driver get the same as a 777? Hell no, but the regional model needs to disappear. At the very least, have a defined way of getting mainline wages and benefits. One of my FOs brought up a good point about skilled trade apprenticeships.
