But when you ask for a ride to work it's all buddy buddy.

But I've yet to figure out why they fly 250 everywhere they go. Now that's starting to cause issues everywhere,
And that's why I call them skypest
Also for the fact that they are rude.

I fly for SkyWest; we most certainly do not fly 250 KIAS everywhere we go. That said, yes, we are not paid by block which sucks. My personal view is not that we are rude, we are just pilots focusing on moving ahead with our careers. If I were starting out at the regionals today, I would definitely consider Endeavor over SkyWest if one lived within good commutable distance of the bases. There's just more money to be made and the Delta interview is well worth giving Endeavor a try in my humble opinion.

You're flying a jet not a turboprop. Maybe they should get their union to support block or better....... oh wait.

"I heard they fly slow while late." -granny blue hair.
Any time we hear you behind us the the captain and the FO remove the keys from around their necks and access the DOOM SOP.
Two-man rule.
Gotta concur that.

It's a culture thing, by flying slow, they don't really care about the people in the back.

I know more than a few guys at endeavor that flew around at 250. Doesn't matter where you are you will have those guys, and I've got better things to do than giving you a nod walking through the terminal.
I've flown for both companies and I am very pleased I left there.
As for the slow peed events 9E had their fare share and not to mention the F410 flight. The dumb cost index per the company was the cause of the slow speed events and since it was cancelled the problem has gone.
