...while we're at it, I believe a ban is in order on the "Guppy Killer" bag stickers I've seen some E170/190 guys display. You know who you are and you know who I'm talking about. Makes me wanna barf all over their gear. Some of these kats just don't get it... Yeah, I know you're not to blame that you have to fly mainline-type birds for regional wages, but in the big picture, it's not helping our profession and really doesn't say much for moral character or respect for this career when you display this type of "in your face" pride.

It especially makes me upset when I think of (and keep in touch with) the regional guys I used to work with who'd moved on to Mainline and gave up their seniority during the brief hiring bump, only to be furloughed during their NH-IGS.
