Ok time to vent. There are a vocal few on this board that think that themselves and their regional is God's gift to aviation, along the lines of the Wright Bros., DaVinci and the jet engine. Everyone who has been on this forum for more than a week knows who YOU are, so im not gonna call anyone out by name. All you hear is ..."Express Jet is beter than Skywest because I work there and I have 2000 hours and I make more money than you." Followed by "Skywest is better than Mesaba because I got hired with 1900 hours and I get more days off." Followed by Mesaba is better than Pinnacle because....and on and on and on. THS IS EVEN MORE CHILDISH THAN "MY DAD CAN BEAT UP YOUR DAD". And the most vocal antagonists probably WEREN'T EVEN AT THEIR AIRLINE WHEN THE PILOTS BEFORE THEM WERE FIGHTING FOR A GOOD CONTRACT, they just walked into it as a green new hire. You cannot tell the difference in maturity in these arguments between a 300 hour new hire and a 4000 hour Captain. If you spent half as much time finding faults within your own airline and trying to fix them instead of wasting your energy critiquing others, this industry might actually improve....walk a picket line with your regional brothers, volunteer on your union comittee, etc. But then again nothing makes your balls bigger than flying a big shiny new airplane or hiding behind a screen name bashing others, does it?

No wonder the public doesnt give a flip about us anymore...
