We should move to a 2500 hour rule so the unsafe pilots stay in the cessnas and pipers where they belong.

Even during the times when those 250 hrs, wet ink commercial with temporary certificates, were being hired to fly in the right seat.....

The regional 1st yr FO's not being paid a liveable wage is a big concern and even with the new rest rules, 14 hrs of duty day, is still a long duty day. It should be reduced to 12 hrs of duty day followed by a 12 hr rest...
We should write to pretty much every journalist in the country so that more and more of the traveling public should read about this and it will help to generate a public opinion and may even put some pressure on the law makers who may make a minimum wage law for pilots...

Regional Pilots Are Unsafe...
I was having that thought last year while walking around my emb145 and saw the following:
A Delta MD80 touches down KCMH 10R abeam the Lane Aviation ramp and pulls max reverse all the way to the end while turning off at the 28L threshold. Dust and fod kicked up and sucked back into the engines. No CFR, just a slow taxi to the gate. I guess 10,113' is a bit short for the MD80?
Yeah, we are unsafe.
