There are many thousands of posts that clearly show the contrary.
If the RJ guys are really not interesting in placing blame, then stop blaming. You stop blaming, then I'll stop correcting you.
Anyway, 30 RJ guys against 1 old fart = inability to type fast enough. Going to bed now. Have fun.

Carl,
I'm back from my cocktail and the hot tub. Did you get your experience from the military or from the civilian world prior to NWA?
If you want to blame RJ guys what about the guys who got hired before their company got any RJ's? Once their company ordered RJ's should they have quit their jobs even when they didn't have the experience to come to a mainline carrier?
We all worked hard to get here. At least us young guys are trying to keep scope from eroding any further. We get it. Were not going to give away the farm like you senior guys did and then blame someone else for their mistakes. You talk about facts but your wrong. You watch from your 6 story throne. Us young guys lived in the mess you created. We did everything we could from our seat. Hell, my base refused to go to training on the 70 seat RJ when it showed up. Our fight failed after a year but we tried.
APA pilots at least tried to fly the RJ's. Maybe this DPA thingy has some merit.
This is the most important thing------ WE ALL WOULD HAVE PREFERED BEING JUNIOR ON A MAINLINE LIST FLYING THESE PLANES. EVERYONE I'VE EVER FLOWN WITH AT A REGIONAL AGREES WITH THIS. WHEN WE GOT INTO THIS BUISINESS WE THOUGHT WE'D FLY TURBOPROPS AT A $HITTY REGIONAL AND MOVE ON TO A MAJOR IN THE SMALLEST JET. Somehow, somewhere, someone screwed up and allowed small jets at the regional level. Lets fix it.
