Can we apply this to the Baltimore Orioles to downgrade them from Major League Baseball?
An obviously biased opinion to follow: I'm not sure what placed the stick up the 5th point of contact here but I sense a grudge against these two growing airlines by someone who doesn't like the potential for other airlines to grow. It reminds me of the guy who wears his Airborne Wings proudly on their chest and volunteers to be an instructor at the course so he can make sure no one else earns theirs.

The same thing applies to JetBlue.
So I've concluded that we should start referring to JetBlue and Southwest as regionals since regional pilots fly to even more international destinations than they do.
