That would put them back in the incapable bumbling hands of far inferior pilots who haven't been flying 90 seaters for years already. Hope we can keep that big jet from hitting other smaller aircraft on taxiways and stay on the runway at LGA. We're all in this together ladies and gents, insults are real easy to throw around. We live in glass houses. I hope Delta does put mainline pilots on them and gets great rates! That means more demand for hiring, movement, and might finally put the whipsaw regional airline management pukes out on the streets. But as for the pilots, I'd let them be my wingman any day.

What makes regional guys punks? Pilots like you make me sick I'm sure bid D is not your first flying job and just because you work for big d doesn't mean you have to be a BIG D. Idiot. Congrats on the new airframes and the flying, the less regional operators out there the better. On that point I agree but to talk smack about the much harder working RJ guys bringing you your pax day in and day out is a move of a C Suck$&@! PUNK.

Funny part of it is your pilot group getting all hot and bothered to fly these airplanes when not to long ago you scoffed at pilots flying them as substandard and beneath you.
Welcome to the RJ game RJ guys.
