I’m not aware of any and, in fact, I realize that air travel....evn in the dreaded RJ....is infinitely safer than almost anything else in life you can do.
But I don’t want to push the odds and all things being equal, give me the jut-jawed, steely-eyed, grey-haired DL mainline pilot.

One need not be an expert in demography to realize that you cannot produce more elderly Delta mainline pilots in a short period of time (yeah, I know, some are furloughed, but there are A LOT of regional jets out there). You have to wait about 40 years, and by then you might not be around to fly on their planes.
