It looks like you mainline guys are trying to make great steps towards the future of this industry and deserve a sincere thank you from me.

Also, a pretty funny story. I was jumpseating on a regional carrier in an E175 and the captain got all bent out of shape that I called it an RJ. I was under the impressional that it was, especially when its being operated by a regional carrier. He even had the nerve to threaten to deny me boarding but since I was going to work let me board with just a stern talking to. Its people like that captain that will delay the industry from being back where it should be.
