"When you go on a regional airline, you're not achieving the same level of safety that we have at the major airlines," Sullenberger said. "At the regionals, you don't have the same robust safety system in which we operate that you do with the large major airlines. So we still have not, in spite of our best efforts, achieved what we call 'one level of safety.' They're simply not the same."

I don't know if that's true. That's not the point. The public perceives outsourced regional carriers to be inferior.

That's not true, it's part of sully and skiles attempt to scare the public and exploit an accident for their own economic agenda. I agree with the agenda of improving our profession, but not the shameless fear-mongering they are conducting. Especially when skiles chose the commuter route himself and now bashes it ( there's a name for people like that) and sully has no clue.

That said, I agree that ALL flying under a brand should be by the pilots of that brand, and expansion should be within and not farmed out. It kills all of our careers and movement when one sector of the industry is used to keep costs down at the expense of the employees rather than pass those costs on to the public.

if all the RJs were at mainline then it wouldn't be the inexperienced pilots at the regionals that are dangerous, it would be the inexperienced pilots flying RJs at mainline that are dangerous.
