It's a culture thing, by flying slow, they don't really care about the people in the back.
Or not giving you the nod in MSP. Expressjet guys are friendly, Compass for the most part are friendly, hell even mainline is better than Skywest. Every time I look in there direction its like they have to avert their eyes. Its not a big deal in the grand scheme of things and I'm not trying to paint a pilot group with one brush but it seems to be 80% SKW guys that can't give you the time of day....
