To sum up this thread.

RH pilot thinks pilots with more experience and regimented training programs all departing unsafely.

RH pilot given information that refutes his assessment. Show's RH pilot has lack of understanding between windshear and microburst and the relation to operations.

And several major airline pilots with years of experience take the time to educate this pilot. In fact I am guilty also. After thinking about this I think we need to go radio silence on this type of response to these RJ pilots.

If their companies are not willing to train them, then it is not OUR problem. Let these guys sit in the pad critiquing the rest of the industry while we take our passengers to and from their destinations. Let their performance drop below the threshold to keep their parasite contracts with the major partners. Let's put these guys out of business. We should not support these pilots that have made a career out of working on the cheap and NOT knowing the rules. They are so infatuated with taking flying from a major airline pilot that they haven't botherd to learn how to operate an airplane. School is out. Let them learn it the hard way!
