That’s always been the joke between CRJ and ERJ guys and gals at SkyWest. As someone who was CRJ switched to ERJ, yeah the flying is substantially better, and the 175 is a sweet jet, no doubt.
I’m fairly certain some other regional guys overheard the joke not knowing the background behind it and turned it into “SkyWest” thinks they’re “Mainline”, and ran with it. The irony is they clearly think more of us then we do of ourselves.
