Glad to read this "Tex"...when I flew for a code sharing regional many moons ago, the only use the mainliners had for us , was moral support when they went on strike...they fought flow-through agreements for us,...forced assesments on us when they went on strike, then kicked us off jumpseats when a "jetpilot" needed a free ride instead of us....so time they reap what they sowed....see the regional jet defense league....more good medicine for the arrogant mainline folks.....
