Are you suggesting that Prater said; regional pilots are kind of sucking lately, we need an article about how professional they really are???

No. Why would you think that? Prater's not God. He's just the rep elected by the Executive Council to put a face on ALPA at Congress and the industry. Do you have a thing about Prater?
 
Why would they to that?

Air Line Pilot magazine clearly screwed the pooch on this one. In their rush to bolster the name of regional ALPA pilots after the Colgan mess they ended up putting us in an even deeper hole. This is not only embarrassing for ALPA but for every airline pilot in the profession.

Because their nearly sickening and continual defense of ALPA on various boards.

Nice...let me try to help:

Many people are so spooked by apostrophes that a word like “they’re” seems to them as if it might mean almost anything. In fact, it’s always a contraction of “they are.” If you’ve written “they’re,” ask yourself whether you can substitute “they are.” If not, you’ve made a mistake. “Their” is a possessive pronoun like “her” or “our” “They eat their hotdogs with sauerkraut.”

Everything else is “there.” “There goes the ball, out of the park! See it? Right there! There aren’t very many home runs like that.” “Thier” is a common misspelling, but you can avoid it by remembering that “they” and “their” begin with the same three letters. Another hint: “there” has “here” buried inside it to remind you it refers to place, while “their” has “heir” buried in it to remind you that it has to do with possession.

LOL..ok I am owned on that. Proof reading English was never my strong suit and it still kills me in law school.

I really wound not admit to that...plus remind me not to hire you as a poor proof reading lawyer, wouldn't want anything to slip by you.
 
I can't wait for ALPA to interview me......going to tell them about a time when I flew a UFO to Jupiter.


I gotta raise the B.S.flag on this one....UFO's to Jupiter!????
I've flown UFO's and they do NOT handle the thin air around Jupiter at all, Venus is really as far as you can safely operate them and even then it's a little shaky going through the meteor field to get there.
