I'm sure there are a lot of great people at AA's regionals but I don't seem to get an opportunity to have them show that to me. Instead I get lots of mainline and regional AA types who routinely interupt whatever we're doing at the moment to prepare for the flight and proceed to tell me they're riding up front with me. They still get a ride but only after a discussion about manners. No one from any other group has ever done that in my ten years here. And that's just one example of many. I'm not the only one that sees it. Just saying. . .
