I think one needs to keep in mind context. Some have endured serious hardship in the last decades. It's all about context. The system is broken, not the people.

get real

John, do you want to explain to the pilots left at XJT where the cabin trainer and FTD #1 came from? Something about glass houses.
Judgment played the biggest role. And yes, MA had some poor judgment as well.

I postponed it for personal reasons. Right now, I am extremely glad that I did.

We tried to move on, but were told by mainline that we weren’t worthy. Don’t blame us.

[QUOTE=piloto2;3097484]You're forgetting that Skywest already operates over half of all the 50 seat regional flying that UAL contracts. They are getting more of those 50 seaters back as the come off of Delta service. They (Skywest) already operate over 180 CRJs for UAL.[/QUOTE

The crj has a shorter lifespan than the 145s and a shortage of parts.

Oo could have had the 145 on their certificate but didn't want to merge with xjt.

There were no passengers on board and the pilot was yet to be qualified in the aircraft. Huge difference.

Eat your words. I guarantee you there are aircraft flying around with cycles above Canadair's stated lifespan,
