It IS embarrassing, but when people are treated like children, sometimes they act like children. Not an excuse, just a reality. Regional pilots are treated like dirt, and then suddenly expected to behave like professionals. To their credit, 99.9% conduct themselves with professionalism even when their companies don't return the favor. Please, I'm not condoning this or making excuses for it, I'm simply saying it doesn't surprise me at all.
