Actually, that's wrong and as written earlier the real problem is worse because it is more objective than simple bigotry.This is why a single list will never fly....The military folks do not want their "squadron buddies" to start over in a "little RJ"......
Delta flew airplanes much smaller at one time....DC-3....and crop dusters if you want to go back far enough.....The mainline ego decided at some point that "little airplanes" weren't real airplanes......

Read the argument about the DC9 SLI and you quickly realize the reason why this airplane isn't an MD88 is because of the 25%+ pay differential on the 100 seat jets. The large airplane drivers don't want to be involved in trying to raise the pay for anything other than the large airplanes.
You saw the divisions between the 76 seat and 50 seat pilots at ASA. Multiply that by between 200% and 400% and you start to get at the real problem.
You should see the fight over where the 767-300ER fits into the NWA scheme of things.... Delta thinks it is a A330, NWA thinks it is barely better than a 737.
Unions. Look what they have done for the Big 3. Come to think of it, look what they did to McDonnell Douglas..........
