They know their own airline but when you ask anything about someone else's airline they have no idea. Latest example was from a delta capt and he said, "Pinnacle went through a bankruptcy"
jumpseating home on a Usair bus, captain asks me as we pull in next to a Usair E190 "is that mainline or express?" Some of these guys don't even know what's happening outside of their fleet type.
