why are you glad it wasn't connection? so we don't look crappier than we already are? yeah hopefully some mainline flight will splatter somewhere so we can feel even loftier.
Well, duh?! Of course we all make mistakes! None of us would want to have to do a carpet dance in front of a chief pilot or be investigated. A tragedy was averted, (no, NOT A SINGLE PILOT HERE would want to see anyone hurt).
So, you get what we've got here...pilots razzing each other. We blow off steam by giving one another crap...it's how we cope. This has probably been going on since Orville saw Wilbur do his first crosswind landing. Deep down, most regional pilots look up to the major guys, and the majors mostly realize the regional guys hustle their keisters off multiple times a day and usually do a pretty damn good job of it! Along the way, giving each other the rasberry as much as possible...Don't you have fellow instructors or student buddies that you call one another names or play practical jokes? Anything like that?
