You no longer even hear the comment "wow, this is a small plane."
You get your FI and myspace fix with the crew room computers.
You have "your chair" in the crew room.
You change bases to get the free food served on certain of the company's flights.
It's the same plane, same crew, but the paint and codeshare changes by the flight.
You have to tell ground which gate you're going to as your company serves four (or more) codeshares there.
It's kinda hard to think of your place as a regional on some of the longer cross-continent flights, until you look at your paycheck. Oh yah.
You've spent three full days at the airport without going anywhere and you're not a 'distressed passenger'.
Once you reach whatever flight hour goal, you spend your time trying NOT to fly.
Someone else always has a much faster upgrade, better equipment, less MELs, and prettier FAs.
Your AME warns you to avoid Ramen if you want to keep your medical.
You can't afford to eat well.
You are amazed that some people are still impressed when you answer their "how big" question with "a 50 seat jet."
The little stuff pays better.
