A transport category airplane is a “basic” trainer. Yikes, you’d be a joy to fly with.

Stop throwing your fellow ALPA pilots in hole they didn’t deserve. Clarify how this increases safety at United? You are admitting that United cares less about safety at the regionals because it only matters when a United customer flies on mainline? That sounds reassuring to the passengers United sells tickets to.

The real "starter" airliner for years has been a CRJ or turboprop. Less automated and raw to fly than any model Airbus, or 787 etc. Get off your high horse. E-jet was designed in the 2000s vs 1960s, which explains the system simplicity. And literally tens of thousands of 200hr foreign pilots everywhere start on the 737. Maybe Boeing needs to innovate?

Fly both, then realize why that’s a dumb question. Too much to explain in one post. Comparing a dingy with a yacht. Where to begin?

What’s your point? There are more SkyWest pilots than ExpressJet pilots. SkyWest wasn’t violating any CPA with another airline they contract for and they still aren’t. However, they would be if they were part of the Aviate program. I don’t doubt that UA will continue to get a large chunk of their pilots from SkyWest even though they are non-union.
