How dare you.
I know the experience I have gained in the last 100 hours compared to the first 100 is a giant difference. I think that another 1250 hours flying anything, anywhere is going to give me a vastly larger amount of experience than I have now.
Do I want to jump in the right seat of an RJ tomorrow? Sure, who wouldn't
Am I anywhere near ready for that kind of experience? Not even close.
Knowing that makes you ahead of the game. At least you are aware of how little you know at this stage of the game. It looks like the regional will be the training ground for most of you getting on with low time anyway.
I seriously doubt the 1500 rule will come out intact with all the lobbysts at the capitol hill trying to water it down. So you have nothing to worry about. Regionals will still hire pilots with less than 400 hours. They already are.
