Sure. Bet my life and my families all the time riding regional airlines. I do it without a second thought.
I agree with an infinite number of regional departures a pilot will eventually kill someone. But all available evidence suggests the rate is really really really low. Certainly favors no pax dying at a regional pilot's hands in 2023.

Interesting fact. But with a wide, wide range of possible interpretations. I believe there are like 10 different variations on the crj “C” check. A C4 (at around 20,000hrs) or a C8 (40,000) are the heaviest and can take 2,000-4,000 hours of labor to complete.
If my numbers are in the ballpark. And you are only flying half of the 200s you own. And 5 percent of your fleet is undergoing “heavy” maintenance. And your mechanic staffing is as thin as your captain staffing. Well I don’t know what it adds up to, but it doesn’t add up to retiring the -200. Probably adds up to weak data, or weak assumptions.

Hmmm, Envoy parked a lot more than that. But also added some airplanes. Guess this is supposed to be a net change kinda thing and not really a parked airplane kinda thing...
Also, what is the time frame for the parking/change? Table no say.
