Were you able to hear sounds through the cameras?

I don't hear "commuter" much, but I certainly don't care if I am a regional pilot or a commuter pilot.

The whole regional / commuter thing is kind of bogus anyways. I know I'm not the only one who thinks if a plane is painted in the colors of a certain airline, and the name of said airline is typed in big, bold letters on the side, it should be operated by said airline...

Also I gotta laugh when some pilots get defensive at pax comments about how small the plane is. It's like 'uhh, have you seen the size of this thing?'

There's really nothing I can think of that I'd need to hear back there. If it gets serious enough, I'd get a call.

I honestly don't care if I'm called a regional pilot, commuter pilot, Barbie Jet Driver, OppressJet (yes, we've been called that), whatever. I don't take it personally. Technically, my airline is classified as a major, but I don't expect to be called that.

When I worked for CJC, we were in no means a regional. That WAS a commuter, anyway you sliced it.

The only thing that rubs me the wrong way is when you tell someone you fly freight they'll then ask how come I couldn't get a job with a "real airline". Or my favorite...."Well stick with it man and maybe you can get picked up with a regional someday". Yeah and make a 1/4 of what I do now....let me get right on that.

It doesn't get any better as you move up, man!

"So are you a captain?"

"No, I'm a first officer...co-pilot"

"Don't you ever get tired of not being able to fly?"

"ArooOoo?!"

Umm Doug...you're just a gear puller on a 763.

My wife was boarding the flight one day (she was the F/A), and a pax asked her what she did to get punished and put on such a small plane (E145)

Middle aged lady from Long Island dressed like Peg Bundy: "This plane is soooo smmmoooolllll."

Me: Rub the nose...it'll grow.

alternate version1: The plane's not small, your arse is big.

alternate version2: Well, it's made out of aluminum and has six wheels, just like your house, but it goes 500 MPH!

Seriously, can you take my picture down please. You said you wouldn't post it here. PLEASE.

Offense is all you make of it.
In the end, it's all just words. Words can never truly hurt you physically if you don't let them. If you let words get you all riled up, that's up to you, but if you choose to be offended it's only your own fault.
