1. Ya last time I flew in SEA/PDX I myself or someone I knew saw a QX crew flipping them the bird.
2. My favorite.... Ya this one QX crew in PDX followed one of our SKW Captains out to his car and then saw it again days later and keyed his car!!!!
3. This one is almost a tie for number 2 it was from an FA I flew with a couple weeks ago she was based in SEA for some time. She claims QX folks used to spit on the RJ's.
Why do I bring this up?... Because it is the most ridiculous crap I've ever heard and takes me a solid few minutes to explain how immature and childish it is to make stories up. I swear the drama that pilot groups make up about each others companies is hilarious. If folks put in half as much effort into building this into a better profession than bickering over garbage these forums wouldn't be so full of negativity.
Why do these stories exist at every regional that comes into contact with SKW pilots when they fly out west? Why does SKW have this reputation? It's obviously not just a couple of guys think this. Ask anyone you fly with and see if they would agree that there's a certain arrogance about the SKW group. It's just annoying and it's brought on themselves.
Anyway, back to the point of the thread. About that Compass....
