Soooo, back to the venerable 1900. I actually miss the flying, all hands on and fun. Nothing like being at 9000' abeam the numbers in the downwind at MIA and being cleared for a visual and "can you keep it short?"....most fun you can legally have in 121 ops., or cranking it in over the Boca Chica channel at 400' keeping clear of NAS Key West airspace and rolling out lined up with 27 at Key West.... Or how about....awe it was all good
. I like my gig in the 767 now, but if they'd pay me the same to fly the 1900 and be home every night I'd be in heaven.

In that case, I'm horrified that these are the "aviators" who are flying around 50% of our domestic capacity. I swung over to the regional forum to see what was happening in the world and I'm totally in shock. I guess I shouldn't be based on the number of "SEE YA'S" in dramatic fashion I hear from regional pilots on the radio. Terrifying

you're right....3 rogue pilots fly 50% of our domestic capacity and mainline guys NEVER say anything stupid over the radio or have never embellished their logbooks or credentials and they were born into that seat never having flown at a regional.......thanks for lumping the other 10,000 of us in with those 3 tools. I can think of several "professional" mainliners we could lump you in with...
