*nod* You're right, how many friends of yours died while performing regional pilot duties? You don't need to answer because everybody already knows. Again, I'm not trying to diminish what regional pilots go through but so many people here treat you as some kind of protected class. Get over it. Everybody pays their dues in one way or another. You're not special, you're not a victim, nobody forced you to work for some crap regional just like nobody forced me to be in the military.
