As an XJT guy, I just can't get too excited about gaining on someone elses loss. I can't speak for everyone but I believe most of us feel the same way.
BTW: You don't want to see some of the comments on the company website. Way too many "Hurray", "Yeah" and "Great job getting this flying" comments, mostly from FAs and various ground personnel.
