It may be similar to the "Big Airplane Syndrome" that many have. What I see a lot are the International guys that look down on domestic swine. One guy asked me why I didn't fly International, he told me " I don't think you can consider yourself a real airline pilot until you've flown International Ops". I informed him that I flew Transports in the Air Force and flew all over the world for 25 years...and it wasn't just vectors to an ILS to Cologne or Charles Degaule. He got real quiet.
