Much like the poster above, despite my repeated attempts, it seems you just get lumped in. I cant say I blame them, AA goes to extreme lengths to blur the line of their mainline/regional operations.

They can suddenly say it isnt mainline when something goes wrong, but all people see are the similarities on the news.

You gotta tell them your flying for the minor leagues. The Busch league. The B team. When you finally put your “dues” in 10 years later you get to commute to LGA or PHL and fly a slightly bigger plane. Because we fly little Barbie jets.
