I feel sorry that the report made a blanket statement over all the regional airlines and it did not do a good job of separating major airlines from this issue. They didn't emphasize that this goes on only at a FEW regional airlines. Also adding the 18K a year salary was a real nice touch, now a bunch of junior FOs based in DFW probably won't get laid any time soon. However knowing the media's knowledge in aviation they could have really done worse so over all an ok report.

Does anybody know why a station in DFW did this report? Mesa doesn't even fly there much.
