He smiled and said maybe one day I would have enough experience to fly for brand X.

I asked about his quals and he said he had 1100 tt and flew the viper. I congratulated him on his achievement and told him I hoped to gain more experience even though I had more PIC and over 4 times his total.

99% are not like this. The one that are give a bad rep for the rest.
And I would hope that we are all smart enough to not take the actions of a single and apply to all. I like to work on the majority system. In another thread where people are willing to string up the airline profession because of the actions of a certain crew would be another example where we should known the difference.
