"Months ago, one SkyWest CRJ aircraft experienced an isolated slow speed event, which is when an aircraft reaches less than optimal speeds," SkyWest told ABC. "The aircraft’s slow speed alert systems functioned perfectly, and the crew responded appropriately with a 4,000-foot descent. No stall occurred."

I am just stating what the news said which was 12000' loss. Whether it was 12000', 4000' or 1000' it's unacceptable. What if your family was on board? Would 4000' loss be acceptable to you? It's gross negligence, period.
As for an "isolated incident" give me a break. Skywest has had numerous occasions of shakers or slow speed events. Which is why during recurrent there was a heavy emphasis on recovery and protocol reviewed last year. I also believe there was an email to all crews stating that slow speed events were occurring online and how to respond properly both in recovery and notifying ATC.

They sent and email about what to do after it happens?? How about "don't get into that situation in the first place?" Or "Pay attention" and "Do you job?"

Complacency kills.

I agree, but for a company to send out "tech briefs" hit heavily on stall/slow speed recoveries ect... In recurrent, indicates more than just "one instance" of a slow speed event occurring.

I have never flow the CRJ. Does the box on both 200/700/900 at Skywest give you a max altitude to fly at?

CRJ 200 restriction lifted
 
Now FL330 is the max CRJ 200 altitude. There is justice in this world!
