"Never heard of you."
"Oh."
"I just don't get you regional people. Why would want to work there? Why don't you just apply to United?"
"Are you serious?"
"Yes. I am, why do you work there??"
"You obviously don't have a clue, I can't even respond to you. And if I did, you wouldn't listen to me anyway... wow."
First Officer mouths, "I'm sorry."
