Yeah I would rather have that.

Also, please provide data (accidents per mile, accidents per seat-mile, accidents per departure, etc) that show how the regionals' safety record is worse than the majors'.) You do have that data, right?

Ya, SkyWest has a lower safety standard than any of the legacies!
It's totally acceptable to fly stoned and drunk just to make the FFD!
You wouldn't believe the shortcuts we do just because the rules don't apply to us!
In fact just the other day I landed on a taxi way, but thought "no big deal, I'm just a regional pilot".

Thanks!
Thanks!
Good luck

I have no idea how Skywest (or any other regional) operates, so I won't comment about Skywest's level of safety compared to the legacies. But I came to my legacy from a national carrier, and the training and operating practices aren't even close to the same. 121 is a baseline - that's it.
At least that's how it was between my two 121 experiences. :shrug:
