Not accurate. There’s no difference in fly at mainline vs regional.

Yes, there are more tricks you need to learn and be able to perform on demand. CAT II/III autoland sounds easy but it's a whole 'nother set of profiles. Not insurmountable, but it is more to learn.

Was cat III trained at my regional, hand flew them down to 50ft as a CA. No big deal. Then we got autoland cat III jets and it was even easier.

Took me 3 mins to memorize CAT III profiles, limitations, operations, and fail passive vs fail operational. Not a hard thing to learn at all.

Regionals are 2x harder than flying for the majors. I fly the 767 and it dosnt come close the the difficulty I had of flying the crj 200. All the "extra" stuff of the majors can be learned in half a day at most.

The majors are much more easier.

We’ll everyone in Aviate I hope you see the reality of what Aviate really is. Air Wisconsin is out so those guys will be liking what to do now since there hopes with a flow to United are gone. Gojet is next with them losing 10% of captains a MONTH. So who is left you may ask ? Mesa and commutair. Commutair has a dying fleet so they are on there way out any minute and also loosing captains RAPIDLY. United will continue SOME regional flying with skywest and republic and they aren’t in Aviate. All part of the plan guys !

You do realize commutair just increased CA pay to 100/hr and FO pay to 72/hr today right? They aren't going anywhere. They're the 2nd best paying regional behind aawo

That's irrelevant. $100/hr? I made more than that at OO years ago.

When are they getting E-175's?

If you can't answer that, then they are on their way out.

That would make them the 4th highest paying regional. And a distant 4th at that.
