Facts are facts, all the blood shed in this industry in recent years is written in scumbag regional airlines. If those Pinnacle clowns a few years back managed to kill innocent people on the ground with their lack of professionalism/immaturity/disregard for the profession, this story may have played out earlier. 350hr wonder-kids; C152 to jet-transport/turbo-prop pax carrying. needs to be disclosed, watch how many people will choose NOT to fly if they knew the experience of the crew!
And you did what? Went straight to the majors, right??? It never ceases to amaze me how the so called mainline pilots treat the current generation of regional pilots, you guys have such a chip on your shoulders it is literaly sickening. I suppose you think that you would gladly fly a mainline RJ, or more likely you would say I'm not flying that thing Im a real pilot I only fly heavy metal...if the regionals wearnt around youd be griping that you never get any time off or QOL...but what does my opinion matter all us regional pilots are just scumbags, right....
