That attitude reminds me of the caste system in India. Once you are "born" into part 121 as a regional pilot, some mainline pilots seem to view regional pilots as underlings unable to hack it at X mainline.
Maybe for 'old school' mainline pilots who have come up through the military, it is hard seeing someone with no combat time under their belt be-bop through the terminal with all the trappings of SJS...But for the younger generation, we are looking for our chance at a decent career as well---- Just having paid our dues in different ways; check hauling, flight instructing, aerial surveying, and yes, for some, the big dollar aviation universities.
Interesting how the "us versus them" mentality permeates human culture.
