That and no insurance company in their right minds would cover them with that lack of experience. What they might save in labor costs they'd lose several times over in insurance premiums assuming they could find a company that would give them hull coverage and liability insurance.

This makes sense to me, but again, how much harder is an A320 to fly than an RJ? How long before the insurance companies figure this out and either charge more for the RJ or less for the Boeing or Airbus? Don't you think there is a management position lobbying for this change right now? I guess the insurance to cover losing 150 people is a lot more than losing 50 people. This is what is true at the GA level. That 6 seat twin comanche costs more than the 4 seat version.
I could also see the theory that they wash out less pilots, leading to lower training costs.
I hate to play devils advocate, I really appreciate the constructive answers you have given me. I just want a better understanding.
