Also, those SJS kids tell everyone they "fly for American Airlines" anyway.
I can't even begin to count the amount of people I hear or see do it on Facebook.
It does make one laugh just a bit though
Have you ever TRIED to explain the regional/mainline relationship to a lay person? It's just sooooo much easier to say (in my example) United Express rather than have the whole conversation, especially if the conversation is with someone I don't REALLY want to talk to in the first person (girlfriend's obnoxious know-it-all friend, looney toon next to you on the commute or deadhead, etc...). I have nothing to prove to that person, just trying to save myself some pain. Now if the guy says "Oh, Express? Which one?" I am more than happy to go further. Otherwise, let's just leave it at that.
Sorry for the drift, just get tired of guys who think an RJ puke is trying to impress anyone.
