I think we have all commuted/dead-headed enough in the 200s to have earned the right to call them lousy. They can't get rid of those things soon enough.
We are a regional, we don't fly 747s. I think you are having delusions of grandeur. The sooner you come to the realization that you work at a Regional airline the better off you will be to face reality.
You sound like another fine soul that doesn't want to come over to the jet side. That said, you shouldn't have a problem with an exceptionally long fence between jets and props.
That's the point. It was supposed to be ridiculous to see if Colgan really wants relative to protect what they have... or crossover with a windfall.
Your squawking makes me think you were licking your chops at the possibility of telling some poor Pinnacle FO (who has been working twice as long as you) "Gear up, Speed mode. uh... um.. Autopilot on?"
