You don't know anybody rebooking their trip to get off regional planes.
I bet you most passengers don't even know that a Continental 737 and a Continental RJ belong to different companies... on the other hand when they see a Prop waiting for them, they make a face, maybe a smart a$$ coment, but that's that, they get on... People don't care about RJs, the don't like props, I know I flew for Allegheny Airlines. I remember Buffalo, 3 RJs and a Dash parked outside. Passengers would come and ask,
-"excuse me, which is the La Guardia flight",
-"that plane sir, that one facing this way" pointing to the Dash
-"damn, thank you"
