Which begs the question, why not? Why are they acceptable to fly the very same passengers around on a CRJ but not a Boeing? The very same people who might deem someone to be unhireable for whatever reason will gladly accept the hospitality of that same unhireable RJ pilots jumpseat if it means making a commute or getting somewhere they need to go. In addition, they would not even think twice about putting their entire family in the back of the the same unhireable pilots airplane when it's time to go to Disneyland. This industry is THE definition of hypocrisy.
