This is not good, for all pilots as it makes the profession look bad. I hope it never happens to me or anyone else in this profession. Thank God that noone was hurt.
With that being said, I find it disgusting how the regional guys can come into this thread, flamebaiting the legacy pilots ... just for the sake of getting back at us over perceived ill treatment of previous regional accidents which CLEARLY were the fault of the crews flying the aircraft. It wasn't like we, or anyone else, was wrongly putting blame on the crews. Am I defending this crew? No, I am not.
I'm being dead serious when I say this: if I were a passenger and was reading this thread, there would be no way I'd ever get on a passenger jet now -- especially a regional -- seeing how you guys end up behaving.
And you guys wonder why some of us legacy pilots have a lack of respect for some regional folks.
When will people learn .. it isn't us versus you, they versus we, etc.etc. We're all in this together and for those to make jokes about such accidents, your turn is next.
Good luck.
