Better yet, get a real contract that stipulates that ACARS messages are not official crew notification. Then ASAP them each and everytime they do something stupid that endangers your flight. Oh, that's right.... all regionals are the same... aren't they now. More subtle nuances....
While I agree that it is a crappy way to notify a crew, you do know that even the legacy carriers do it that way?
