Phewwww...is anybody else hot in here? One of the more lively debates I've read on here. That being said, why is there a major vs. regional mentality? We're all pilots. We're all passionate about what we do. I don't know why you major guys walk around with your chest puffed out like your infalliable. I think that NIGHTIP did a d-mn fine job of providing evidence of major airline accidents caused by grossly unprofessional behavior in the cockpit.

How about this...if youre a major airline pilot and you yourself think youre God's gift to aviation. You think you are completely incapable of having an accident/incident and you think that regional pilots are worthless excuses of wannabe pilots...take a regional pilot "under your wing" (lame pun i know) and mentor that pilot to become more like you. Don't get on here and run your mouth non stop about how you wouldn't let your neighbors dog ride in an RJ. Do somthing about it! Profess all of your wisdom and expertise to someone who doesn't have your gift. One by one you can make all us dumb sh-t RJ guys so much better pilots.
