Are you sure airlines didn't already have this, but in the case of AA it was nonexistent? When you say "your procedure on the CRJ", I've never flown it. But yes, I know what you're referring to.

Depends on who you're talking about. Both "regionals" I've worked for had good training. My last one had AQP, combined with a lot other things not required thrown in, and that was in 2000 when I got hired. The props had it before that. But lumping all regionals into one category is pretty shortsighted.
