"The industry will become a million times safer as all training would be conducted by the Major Airline itself."
How many regional airline training programs have you reviewed?
How many major airline training programs have you reviewed?
It's interesting talking with military guys that go the regional route awaiting a call from the majors. The guys I've spoken with speak highly of the training programs they went through. So I'm curious as to which companies you've identified as under performers, and why? And which training programs do you think have gotten better at the majors?
And if the training is better at the majors why did the DOT IG just say the training, across the industry, isn't good enough?

If the Majors start flying regional jets in house and pay Delta/United CRJ900 pay rates, the entire industry would be fixed. There would be no need for "regional airlines" anymore. Every pilot would become a Major Airline Pilot and the entry level seat would be the small jets(RJ's)..The industry will become a million times safer as all training would be conducted by the Major Airline itself. There wouldn't be a bidding war or a race to the bottom as they say. Hiring standards would go up and better quality of people will become Airline Pilots since now it's a real profession with real salaries. There wouldnt be these cheesy names like go jets, envoy, republic, endeavor, commutair, etc, etc, etc...It would simply be American Airlines or Delta Airlines or United Airlines painted on these aircraft..There is a lot more to it but you folks get the idea..Cost is NOT a factor, I assure you. Net, net it's a win win situation for management and employee groups..BUT, the problem is that pilots at the Majors didn't want this because they thought they were better than regional pilots..They thought flying an RJ was below them so management is not alone to blame..The industry can be fixed and it's really not that hard either..Will it happen? That is to be seen

Getting hired at a legacy at your age was an impressive feat. But as you said, you weren't the first and you won't be the last.
But a slight bit of naïveté/ignorance is showing through here. As far as the bold part, NO. It WOULDN'T fix the "industry". Pilots being on a mainline list DOESNT fix an industry where the companies are a "Corp" or "Inc" and is STILL driven by Wall St, stock price, share holder value, quarterly reports, CASM, RSM's, whatever......
It would simply help the CAREER get BACK to where it belongs.
Annnnnnnnnnd, as COD said, who else has been hired lately?

My only real complaint was the paycheck.

It could just be an English as a second language deal, but I'm skeptical. I hope we're proved wrong.

And while absorbing the regionals would be a win-win for both sides of the fence, it is not done because regional flying, or even flying an RJ, is 'beneath' them..? That's a pretty powerful pilot group making those kinds of decisions.
