Exactly. Let's face it, just about every regional was/is at one time or another "hated" by some other regional for "taking its flying." When I was at Eagle, we said (and some continue to say) the same things about TSA and CHQ, that TSA guys are now saying about GoJet, and even had a sticker that looks comically similar to the one I've seen about "No Alter Ego Jets," or something to that effect.
The second we stop pointing the finger at the pilots of whatever regional happens to be the scapegoat of the time, the sooner we all make a step toward real progress.
