Passengers have VERY short memories.....remember how nice they were to us for 3-4 months after 9/11? then we're back to being the root of all the airline's evils. And remember how excited they were to get RJ's 8-15 years ago so they wouldnt be on those little puddlejumper turboprops?
I just tell them, if you want a real airplane, live in a real city...

You'll NEVER see a mainline airplane between BUF and LGA? Funny. In 1999 I flew a DC9 on that city pair. In (early) 2001 I did it again in a 737-300.
Sadly, Rakesh Gangwal used 9/11 as an excuse to darken the sky with an armada of RJs thus virtually eliminating career prospects for those of us who flew small, narrowbody, mainline equipment.

Taken together, it means that a flight on a regional jet is far more likely to leave you swearing off air travel for good.

This line is even better than the one you are complaining about!!! I know "puddle jumper" FAs are bad, but they don't usually throw the drinks and peanuts like they do in baseball games when they serve!!! What amenities? heated toilet seats?
