Part 135 guys fly more technical stuff than we do and while they have a hire incident rate than that of the 121 world its not nearly as dangerous as everyone thinks.
Naley- Comparing PSA's upgrade req's to ours is pointless. Flying an RJ is nothing like flying a Dash, and though I'm sure to get some argument on this one....I dare say that the skill level required to fly a Dash safely when sheeeott hits the fan is a whole different game than an RJ. A lowering of the 3000-hr upgrade requirement should require that the safety briefing cards include saying a prayer prior to every pushback. One thing I do know: My family and freinds will not be onboard. That's for dizzamn sure.
