I bet you guys would have refused the job at 250TT if somebody offered it to you right?
The modern RJs are so user friendly that I'm not suprised they operate without incident even low time crews. If guys were doing single pilot Navajo flying at 250tt I'd be worried. Experienced pilots have their hands full operating single pilot in hard IMC, never mind when something goes wrong.
Regional SICs have dispatch, MX control and various other resources at their fingertips not to mention a fellow crewmember. With all the structured training and SOPs there aren't too many questions left when they hit the line. Times are changing, get used to it.
