Well United trusts him with the lives of their passengers. I don’t begrudge him a lanyard. Who cares about LIT anyway.

Glad for the feedback. I couldn’t tell if I was being petty.....and it sounds like I was. It just seemed weird to me.

Reflection. Something a great pilot does until they retire. Good on ya.

The SkyWest badge has American,United, Delta and Alaskan on the back.

I’ll bet you $10 it doesn’t say “Alaskan”

I believe all the AA w/o regional pilots wear “American” lanyards. Somebody correct me if I’m wrong.

They also wear the same uniform as American.

United express is only on the back of the ID so we can use the UAL corporate code at Marriott hotels :)

Commutair pilots should wear lanyards that say "40% United", not only for ownership but their chances of making it via the CPP

ExpressJet pilots should wear "United Airlines Shell Company" lanyards.

I flew for a regional that once had United Express and Air Tran jet connect on the back of the badge. I also flew for a cargo company that had FDX on the front....should I let you feel superior to me because you look down on RJ aka Mesa pilots?
Get over yourself....we are all just bros trying to make a good living for our families. And yes, I was prior military too... how long did you spend at the regionals? Because I doubt it was more than a year!

I believe you misunderstand my point. I have nothing but respect for regional pilots doing multiple legs in horrible weather out of EWR etc. Divided loyalties refer to the company HQ not the pilots. Some of you guys are chomping at the bit to be offended. 5 years at the regionals by the way.
