Just read the entire thread - I'll never get that time back but noticed some have voiced negative vibes for the regionals. Since the pilots at the major level are paid more in a month than many are compensated in a year at the regional level - then by all means be envious.
Truth is - the regional jet IS the right plane for the market during this crisis but pilots are too myopic to admit it. RJ's could possibly save the company but misery loves company so that will not be employed.
No one makes big money with RJ's but having a job to come back to trumps the shared pain sentiment that is universally held by our social justice demanding enculturated populace. Remember Comair was a profitable hub and spoke standalone that DAL purchased for north of $3B

Evidently there are many pilots at your own company who do not agree with you. Especially those who sold their souls for scope relief.

With “social distancing”. RJ’s although they have 76 seats will only fly around maybe 35 people. Whereas a 320/737 will make people feel “more comfortable” and seat maybe 65/75 peeps comfortably. Feeling comfortable is what is going to bring people back and RJ’s aren’t going to do that.

Not now they’re not!!! Almost all of are for the abolishment of the Regional Airlines. Especially, those of us who spent the Dark Decade in Regional Pilot Purgatory. As a United Pilot, I don’t want outsourced crews to fly our passengers. And they are OUR passengers. That is how Dr. Dao happened. There wasn’t a single United Employee involved. You approach a situation differently when it’s your company at risk. Also, the experience level to handle such situations is much better. At any one point in a United cockpit there is at least 20,000 hours of experience. Most likely more!!! The Flight Attendants also have much more experience (usually) than a regional carrier.
