I remember a time when the regionals wouldn't touch anyone with less than 3000TT, and that was before the advent of the evil RJ. Back when ASA only operated EMB-120's and ATRs.
Because that means I have to spend
two whole years out of a forty year career flying around is a tiny, hot, dirty, old airplane teaching losers to get $100 hamburgers. Heck, I already am going to spend three years in a RJ (I expect to upgrade in about 20 months, then get my 1000 TPIC), before I go to Super Fantastic Mainline. Oh, and when I get there, I'm going right into the 777, forget the Super 80's.... they are just so
1980's.
