411A, you're absolutely right. We regionals know nothing of professionalism, standardization, and high training standards. That's why this kind of thing could only happen at a regional. No major would every do anything like that. Or like forgetting to set the flaps on an MD-80 departure, or descending a perfectly flyable airplane into a swamp because a gear indicator was burned out, or trying to fly a 6 degree glideslope to a short runway in a 737, touching down halfway down the runway at over 180 kts, or...
You really don't know what you're talking about.
Oh, and has anyone proven that the crew wasn't GIVEN the wrong a/c assignment in the first place? That has happened to me more than once.
