It must be nice getting to sit on a perch.

We collectively screwed up and management won the round to send a bunch of work to the regionals. That combined with the crappy environment over the last while means a great deal of pilots have been and will continue to remain at the regionals for a while. It is not something to whine about, it just is. However, those people you look down on would have been at a major for a while given the prior environment.

Yes, it is bad to call someone a tool for following the rules. However, it seems the point most are trying to make is that the FAA chooses to pursue this issue to the detriment of more important issues that have a greater impact on safety.
