Guy: So, have you been with Delta very long?
Me: No, Sir, I don't fly for Delta. I fly for Mesaba.

It wasn't you, was it?
Your [and of few others on this Thread] sentiments reeks of insecurity by mindlessly comparing yourselves with regional pilots while conveniently forgetting that most Major airline pilots in the US come from regional feed. You’re welcome.
