I dunno... I once had to sit jumpseat from ORD to MSP on United, and the captain spent the ENTIRE flight telling me how I was single handedly destroying the industry by flying for the regionals... Based on the things he was telling me, it sounded like his problem was deeper than a bad schedule or uncommutable trip...

I have noticed here at Expressjet that CAL pilots (only some) have a REALLY bad attitude towards Expressjet pilots. I love when the FO's who probbaly worked at Expressjet calls us "kids" or the CA's walk by when we are deadheading on them "for work" and they don't even say hello!!!!!! We are HUMAN BEINGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am thankful for CAL, cause without them I would'nt have a flying job, but come on for christsake.....................a lot came from a regional, a lot are scabs, and I bet alot only had 400hrs when they got hired a million years ago, anybody else get this type of treatment???

Told you not to post your picture.

It's kinda funny this happening to you. Mr. Mesa Pilots Suck. We didn't do anything worse to you then you did to them.

hahaah we didnt do anything to CAL you wackjob, and MESA pilots may not suck, but your company does

This thread makes me glad I only use Delta to get around...everytime I hop on they ask me how much time I have and if I know they may start hiring in the spring. Those guys rock.

Wow, really? I may have to give them a try... a guy can only be blamed for the Earth's problems so long before he tires of it...;)

I agree. I only commuted on them for about 5 months but I never ran into a crew that treated me like alot of UAL's did. That goes for the FA's and gate agents as well.
