MGT. decides what plane makes the most money on a route. The 73-900 has a low cost per seat mile. It makes the company money. It is underpowered, uncomfortable for the pilots, and prone to tail strikes. For these reasons it is harder to fly. It pays me the same, and makes the company money, who cares about the other stuff. Maybe someone will build a plane that is built around the pilot and makes more money than the 73 someday, I think we should get that. This is why pilots should fly airplanes and let MGT. manage. I think the ESOP program proved that.

Every since those guys retired, we don't really have fatal crashes that often.
Weird...
I also remember MANY of those guys hired with minimum experience.
Automation has helped our safety record, but moving away from the "old way" of doing things has saved countless lives.
Thank goodness the old guard left. Flying is much safer nowadays.
