Is there still such a void between the two labor groups? It seems like an American pilot saying he's really a TWA pilot.
But then, I don't really know the history.
For all intents and purposes, ASA and ExpressJet are still two different airlines sharing an op cert and headquarters. AA/TWA or US/America West comparisons don't really work for this situation. Perhaps the stark difference in company cultures is the reason for the differentiation however.
