ON BEING A PROFESSIONAL:
I see more bashing/flame throwing among the regional pilots than any other group of pilots out there. I sincerely hope that discussions such as these do not overshadow safety and CRM while in flight. Being the only pilot in my family, they as well as friends ask me who they should fly on when it comes time to go somewhere. Should I tell them all to avoid flying the regionals at all costs??
Just like any other group of pilots, I know the vast majority of you guys do and excellent, safe, and professional job while at work and know better than to bring something like this up at work, but it is that very small batch of bad apples that worries me. If I feel it is safer, I'm going to tell them to make sure they are flying on a mainline jet or someone like Southwest. There have been more than one accident out there because the crew was preoccupied by something stupid that had no business being discussed in the first place.
Don't forget, the people that read these posts are not just other pilots, but also consumers. And these latest threads are not doing your companies a lot of good with respect to advertising. Please be professional.
Sincerely,
Clyde
