A captain with shiny jet syndrome?
I watch a 175 taxi by in PHL or DCA and say "Man, those sure are nice airplanes. They're comfortable to deadhead in...but I make more flying my stretched bizjet than they make flying that thing with 36 more seats."
That takes away the sting of being a lowly RJ driver...
