Unfortunately, many of the younger F/O's look down at those who choose to fly for a regional as a career and that is unfortunate. Rick implies exactly that in his misguided post regarding my reply to another (which had NOTHING to do about his regional status per se). He was just as off course regarding implying those who may have flowed thru to a major carrier from a regional are somehow unqualified to be there.
Chalk it up to emotion and the frequent lack of wisdom of youth.
