Yea, that's another thing! Some of UAL's FA treated me like crap! The gate agents certain places were worse...

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 love those kind of flights. that's when you get to tell them that they're at fault because they are the ones that gave up the scope.
Just because you are getting a ride home or to work doesn't mean that you have to take crap from the pilots.

Since I fly the Saab, when they start saying the regionals kill the industry crap I like to ask them "Oh yeah, sorry that you feal I am stealing your flying. By the way, when was the last time your (Boeing, Airbus, MD) was scheduled for DFW to Waco?"

Ok, at Colgan anytime I jumpseated on Us Airways for the most part the crews are really awesome and friendly, but every now and then some of them feel the need to talk down or disrespect me, or "us" because I fly for a "regional". 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???

Might start "finding" extra bags or freight instead of half-weights
If a CAL guy gives me grief for working at a "regional" I usually tell them that I wish they would get more 737s so they could start doing Beaumont and Lake Chuck. I hate those places and it'd mean more jobs at CAL

It has been my experinece that most off the a$$hats were never at the commuters. So they really have no idea what life is like on the other side. They most likely were hired right out of the military or got lucky and got a mainline job back in the 80's. Do a little probing into their background and that should tell the tale.
