or perhaps more accurately, HOW do we assure that it does?
The flying is already being done under the same banner in a complex jet. If the FO has 1500 hours and the captain has a year or two under their belt, what does it matter whether a route is flown in a CRJ versus a 737? We don't have RJs falling out of the sky due to lack of experience.
