Clearly the Cessna Driver knows more about aerodynamics on the 900.

But to be honest, I'll never get on one.

That's right....it is dangerous. Dangerous and foolish. That's because every time it flies, it's unsafe....Oh nevermind, back to ironing my shirt so I can go live life on the edge in my 900.

Only a matter of time... and you know it. Which is why you want to leave flying your current gig.

So what do you suggest pilots who are obligated to fly the CRJ-900 by thier company do about it?

The A321 is prone to tail strikes.
The 747 is prone to engine strikes.
The Dash-8 is old as dirt.
The MD-80 series is old as dirt.

Flying is inherently dangerous. If it scares you get a desk job.

That's up to you (and them).

SJS is a killer though...

Do you disagree?
When and where? I haven't heard of the 88 or 90 having structural failures.

Are you more afraid of the aircraft or the people that fly it? Your aircraft argument seems heavily flawed. Ever look up the specs on the MD-90/ER? Almost twice as heavy, wingspan only 15-20 feet more. There has been quite the advancement in the part of the airplane that makes it fly...they call it a wing.
