We're all pretty much the same, whether you work at Skywest or GoJets or Compass or, heck, even United. Of course, the double-breasted jacket guys at DAL likely think that they're better than everyone else, but please...we're all just pilots, no higher or mightier than anyone else.

Every airline has guys like the CA I saw today. Skywest certainly does. And so does CZ.

I could post the flight number this guy was operating (we were parked 3 gates down and there's only one Eagle-branded CZ flight operating out of that particular airport this morning) but that'd just be silly and inflammatory.

If not on duty, trying to non rev or get on your jumpseat, don't worry about it, not your job.

Look, I don't care what people wear or don't wear. I really don't. I am simply saying that phrases like "Compass material" or "Skywest material"...I mean, they're just meaningless noise designed to make one pilot group somehow feel superior to another. And it's just ridiculous. Take off our ID badges and wings, and I'd defy any of us to be able to tell what airline another guy is from.

Except the double-breasted Delta guys, of course
