Not arrogance nor ignorance, but justified confidence. There is a reason I have no checkride failures, finished my multi commercial in less than 4 hours, and pretty much finished all my ratings in the minimum time required by the FAA. What I lack in experience, I try to make up for by having sound theoretical knowledge. Your right, because I can't fly to Canada, no other regional will give me a shot, but GIA will so I'm going, and I'll be above average. Fortunately I will not need your recommendation to be successful in my career.
Not to mention my TT is 2900/160, and I've been flying since I was 16, so I'm not exactly inexperienced.

The Colgan crash, Comair crash, and Pinnacle crash all had pilots from Gulfstream. The infamous naked Pinnacle pilot in MDT was former Gulfstream. The airline was started by a proud Eastern scab. For years, pilots would pay $25,000 for training (at flight safety the training is about $5,000), then fly 250 hours in the right seat for minimum wage and no per diem. After the 250 hours, these pilots had the option to pay more money for more flight time or resign. They have put car parts in their aircraft. The list goes on and on. I understand for you it is probably your only option with your low time. This place preys on ignorant pilots like youself with no options unless you want to flight instruct. Good luck to you.
