Mr. Professional Pilot must be too professional to wear an emblem on his hat, or to wear epaulettes and a tie that are less than 10 years old.

I don't advocate the RAA. However, I could see how they just wanted to make a generic video and not identify any one airline.
 
Show some respect. He's one of the finest and most experienced pilots I have had the pleasure to work with. Many of the problems in the regionals would be solved if more pilots chose to emulate his example.
 
Personally i think being professional means not lying to people.
So i guess that counts out the RAA and Airline Management. And this guy ....> http://onelevelofsafety.com/
 
It is out of frame most of the time but there is an emblem. Charlie's a good S##t!! (That's Air Force for an awesome guy who knows his job and gets it done well) He means what he says, says what he means and lives what he preaches. I don't know if he did this for RAA or not, but he is miles above Mr. Cohen and his ilk for integrity and professionalism.

How about if more regional management teams chose to emulate Skywest/ASA's example, along with Express Jet and Comair? It isn't a pilot issue, it's a management issue and their pinching of pennies to the point of obsurdity, and now, fatality.
 
A silly argument to say that because of some perceived financial slight, that a flight crew shouldn't be able to perform professionally and ensure that safety is maintained at all times.

That should be a solemn promise we make to our passengers, not a bargain we make with mangement.
 
C.W. really is a great person and great stick. Doesn't matter where he works. He could just as well be a 747 captain or a C-172 captain. He's got my respect. Some of my captains I fly with at the big D could learn a thing or two from him. He is spot on when he says Skywests training is better than some majors. Gotta love getting a couple CD's for all your training (jk). This one place, right place thing is a joke too. Our manuals are disorganized pain in the rump.

Now, how would he or you know that? Just asking. Did he or have you worked for a Legacy carrier in the past, and then decided to go back to a regional? Or do you believe that Skywest had better training than the one you had at your major? Or did you work for several majors in order to come to that conclusion? You would have had to, I would think.

I've been around long enough to know (and stay in touch with) guys that have moved on to various majors. In some cases, they've come back (furlough, etc.). I've even met guys who opted-out early (before their pension got raped) but still wanted to fly for a good airline. Each of them has said that SkyWest training was on par, or better than their major. After meeting and flying with quite a number of these guys, one can surmise it as fact.

Or, maybe they were ALL just trying to be "nice".
