I have perused the regional board, and no offense to commuter pilots, but based on the vast majority of the posts that I read there is a serious lack of maturity among many of the pilots. The impression they give is that they are nothing but high-school punks who think that they are just "way to cool" because they are flying the RJ.

Honestly, I don't believe that he is trying to stir up trouble. With all of the growth in the international arena and with the rumor of only hiring 50 people this year, the competition is going to be stiff. It would only make sense that the most competitive candidates would and should come from an international heavy-jet background.

Why would you want UPS to hire regional pilots? All our growth is going to be international and a newhire engineer will eventually be flying internationally. I'd rather have someone with experience in international ops vs. some regional pilot who hasn't flown anything bigger than a rj.
Do you know where some of these "regional" pilots are flying to these days? Look up any hilljack city in Mexico and tell yourself that some poor bastard "regional" captain in flying in there tonight after a 12 plus hour duty day. The guy in the right seat probably doesn't have 1000 hours, you are doing a vor dme arc, there is severe mountainous terrain around, and the controllers will grant you any wish.
Are these guys not qualified to learn how to do a "crossing"?

Just don't do what my engineer did a few weeks ago. He put his food, while still in the styrofoam container, in the oven. I had tears rolling down my face from laughing so hard. He scraped off the white goo and ate the food!
