I don't understand the pretentious idea that fully qualified 121 airline pilots flying an AA paint job airplane, owned by AA, in an AA uniform, with pax who believe they are on AA isn't 'good enough' to work at AA?

The differences are so diluted. We've got; the size of the pay check, number of seats in the back.. and the invisible line in your brain.

When AA passengers ride on an Eagle 175, 95% of them think it's AA and can't tell the difference. This infighting is only recognized by pilots and airline management, who love to stratify the pilot group.
