Good point. But do you ever read the cargo forums? Were you keeping up when the NWA/DAL thing started? It's not just "regional guys" that engage in this type banter.

When FDX was going through their FDA negotiation, they even dedicated an entire section for them. It got even WORSE when age 65 was going. It ALSO required the most moderating at the time. At least, according to a moderator.

The FACT is at the regional level, there are MORE issues. Regionals are played off against one another, doesn't happen on the same magnitude as with you mighty "legacy" pilots. If CAL was about to be bought out, and YOUR job may be in question, do you think you would be so passive and happy go lucky? Doubt it.
