It's easy to explain. As a species, humans tend to judge others by their actions but themselves by their intentions (and not actions). We give ourselves the benefit of the doubt or supply explanations that self-rationalize our own behavior but don't do any of that for anyone else and make judgements based solely on what we observe.

And Skywest Pilots are just as guilty of talking smack about other regional airlines as well. I was in the Jumpseat on a flight home, thanks for the ride btw, but the captain forgot I was there for a little bit. Made for an awkward moment after he remembered

I almost threw in a SAPA joke here, but I didn't, because why is everyone talking smack?

OO people often complain (like any other pilots), and often for good reason. But I've never heard them blame their troubles on another regional 2000 miles away on the opposite coast.
