Not now they’re not!!! Almost all of are for the abolishment of the Regional Airlines. Especially, those of us who spent the Dark Decade in Regional Pilot Purgatory. As a United Pilot, I don’t want outsourced crews to fly our passengers. And they are OUR passengers. That is how Dr. Dao happened. There wasn’t a single United Employee involved. You approach a situation differently when it’s your company at risk. Also, the experience level to handle such situations is much better. At any one point in a United cockpit there is at least 20,000 hours of experience. Most likely more!!! The Flight Attendants also have much more experience (usually) than a regional carrier.
