If everyone had that attitude, eventually you won't work for any company at all... you'll end up beating your chest about some shell-game company.
Here at JetBlue if they bought a regional and put them in our exact same uniforms, I'm sure people would be a bit ****ed.
One airline wearing different a uniform from another airline does not create "b-scales, 50% outsourcing, you name it". Most of the flying you guys are doing used to be mainline anyways.
All I see here is regional guys that want to be mistaken for mainline guys and mainline guys that don't like to be mistaken for regional guys. I hate to say it, but there is a huge difference.
If you could please leave your inferiority complex on the regional forum that would be great.
If you could leave your superiority complex out of this you would see the big picture. When you put regional pilots in a different uniform you create a us vs them situation. Exactly what management wants, disunity. "Oh his stripes are different, I'm better than him" "Those guys TOOK our flying" No on took anyones flying, it was outsourced when the unions were broken down in bankruptcy.
Get it? The more dis-unity this profession has the more management will take advantage. Either play into it or realize it and act accordingly.
You assumed I fly for a regional. My point exactly.
