So why do pilots like to think they are better than other pilots because off the size of the airplane they fly?

You think the legacy airline guys look down on you because it’s you that feels that way. It’s demonstrated in your posts in this thread.
Consider that there are probably legacy guys that look at Allegiant, and think: Hmmm, decent pay, home every night, newish Airbi, what’s not to like?
Conversely, there are some Fortune 200 part 91 guys that look at it say: “Ew, I heard you have to buy your own dinner.”
The guys that actually DO look down on you, are just being like you. I like to think they are in the minority. Because I agree with you that we all put our pants on one leg at a time, and try to maintain the highest level of professionalism and respect for each other.

Most people I see get a kick out of walking out near the plane. They always want to take a picture by it or just “have a look” as they wait in line. Kinda like the old days when airline flying was still a little mysterious. Of course every so often theres some rain that wont let up but all in all its good and people enjoy the blast of warm air as they walk off that they flew down for in the first place.

...Had I been there i'd have probably shook my head and given you a one finger salute Mr Big Shot Netjets Guy.

Agree with Disco, this is a tired argument that should have died several pages ago, moving along.
