We have a winner!
ALPA is perpetuating this stereotype that regional pilots suck, and may even be feeding misinformation to these news outlets since it always appears to be the same story line (even Reader's digest?!!!). This is for their self serving goal of appeasing their Whale dues contributors who want RJs to go away, and thus keeping it a viable business since they're screwed if another one quits the union. ALPA plays both sides of the fence, telling the mainlines they're going to make RJs go away and telling regionals they're going to protect their interests. When will we wake up and defeat this double standard?
