Oh, and you also never filled us in on the rest of the story about San Fran and the reserve debacle. We're still waiting on that one. Time to put up or shut up.

Do all CRJ pilots get qualified on the 700s and 900s?

CRJ pilots fly the 200, 700, & 900. Used to be some bases didn't get 700/900 qualified but they all are now even if trips on the larger airplanes don't originate out of that domicile.
You generally do initial IOE on the 200 and then a line check on the 700/900 so you may spend a few weeks as a "200 only" pilot. Or you'll fly the 700/900 in initial, it varies.

And I didn't run. I'm still here. I just have a life, so I don't sit here all day waiting for some pilot who just had someone on his jumpseat say blah, blah, blah so it must be true, just so I can get my jollies.
This whole stupid ass argument stems from the FACT that Delta has more room to wiggle on its express fleet than United does at this very point in time, and for the foreseeable future. End of story.

That was an internal company decision, I don't know what "much higher outside influences" would have to do with that. Implying that people/groups "above" the owner/CEO of the company are coming in to make mundane business decisions seems a little irrational.
