All they will do is harass the new and current pilots and make them do extra sim all because one night someone forgot how to get an airplane out of a stall. Ask anyone, most will tell you that their regional training was as hard if not harder than at the majors or corp. Not to mention this whole thing is contradictory because these pilots were "high timers" by regional standards. Almost 2500 for the FO and I think 3500 for the CA, mostly tprop.
