The RAA is not so much representing the interest of the Regional airlines, but rather those who stand to lose the most if that flying had to go back to mainline. This campaign isn't about restoring the public's faith in the regional airlines, but rather about economics. The reality is that safety equals training and safety culture, some regionals have both, others have none, and all the while the special interest groups in DC, have managed to keep the FAA playing along, it's all about economics!
This Cohen guy, has never worked a day in his life as a regional pilot, yet his a self proclaimed expert in our life style, and our segment of the industry, guys, the man is just a puppet for those that stand to lose the most if the regional industry was to go away.

AMEN! Follow the Money! By the way, look at ALPA, they are complacent in that they don't listen to pilots, but follow along in lock step!
