Republic is giving up 5 190s to Usair only to be replaces by 5 new 190's from Brazil

There is a story behind that one at least, the management team at CPZ tells the employees that they are not a regional. Its something of an inside joke. My opinion is unless you routinely fly sub 300nm legs you are not a regional. If your routes range from California to Florida and Maine to Montana, thats more of a subcontractor than a regional. Opinion only.

If there is a "express" or "connection" or "connect" or any word of that nature painted next to the mainline name on the aircraft you are flying, then you are working at a regional, no matter how many miles or hours your flights are.

Um its what your paycheck says that makes you a regional pilot or a major airline pilot. Period, end of story.

Best statement on here in a long time. I'd fly a Super Cub for 150k and be one happy "mainline" pilot!
