I see this thread being locked in less than one day

It is a pretty sad mentality, but unfortunately this job..unlike any other.. is more of a life choice. (i guess you could equate it to a doctor choosing a hospital).

Since regional flying is so fluid, a regional coming into another's "territory" (current flying) is a man approaching your girl.

We puff our chests, grunt, and start throwing things..wildly mesmerized by fire.

You're probably better off wishing for world peace than an end to this nonsense, but there is a light at the end of the tunnel. When we're all happily sitting at a major somewhere and it turns into "my major is better than yours!"

Or we become so indignant and just pretend like no other major carrier exists

Blue skies my friend.
