Attitude? Almost without exception, the AA captains I have flown with have been supremely cool and laid back - REALLY good guys to spend time with in the cockpit.

Along WITH that, the AE guys are being welcomed with open arms and have gained a good reputation (no thanks to some of the early flows who were problem children) over here.

So, AA has no issues with supposed AE guys with chips on their shoulders. It's just not the case.
