It's funny how mainline pilots forget or are detached from how regional guys have been treated. For example, when American Eagle Airlines refused to accept concessions AAG pretty much told them to f... off. They closed MIA, LGA, and LAX and gave the flying away to the lowest bidders. Essentially shrinking the airline in half.
