What in my post said that I thought I was better than you or any other pilot out there? Bottom line to me is that we(that includes ME) as pilots don't learn to well from our mistakes and experiences outside of the cockpit. We do a terrible job of learning from history, including the active history around us occurring to other carriers. If we can't see the threat directly in front of us, we simply won't believe it to be possible, even if it were warned. The stuff that is happenning to regionals was predicted long ago(not by me), but by and large no one would accept it because we couldn't see it in our face. 50 seat RJ orders have been shufffled/cancelled for several years now at several carriers and many of the new RJ opportunities come from lost flying at other carriers. I'd go on but I'm sure that would raise your ire b/c it's not what you want to hear. I'm just saying to learn from the past/present to be ready for the future, you can be sure management is.
