But we don't all get the same training. Do you think the training program at Great Lakes is comparable to the training program at Delta? I don't really know much about the training programs at either airline, but I'll go out on a limb as say the Delta program is more comprehensive.
Think of it this way, some airlines (not just regionals) wear the bare minimum pieces of flair, while other airlines wear 37 pieces of flair.
