Uh didnt a Continental 757 land on a taxiway in EWR two years ago. I'm sure those pilots had the "better aviator" experience you claim. This contradicts your argument. It amazes me how the media attacks regionals, when it happens at ALL levels of aviation or did you forget that. So I guess there is no such thing as a C/A with 20000+hrs acting unsafe. Maybe you should read NTSB reports more often.
