Thank you for your comments.
I actually like how folks are discussing and expanding this subject. I happen to be familiar with above 3 regional carriers. That is why I asked the specific question originally.
Overall safety discussion is very interesting subject to me given some participants here are working for airlines and pilots themselves. Processes, rules and training can make a huge difference in terms of flight safety, we already saw that in recent 737 max case.
I do appreciate all comments from different perspectives.
