Out of pure curiosity, would everyone post what they did before getting to a 121? I'm interested to see how many hrs people had when they got hired and where they got those hours. I want to see how most people did pay their dues prior to flying pax

I think it'll be interesting to see the results!!
For myself, I instructed till 1100 hrs, then flew 135 freight at amf until 2700 hrs before getting on with SkyWest.
Next?
Being an FO at a regional for many years is tough too. Some guys got quick upgrades.
Now listen up everyone. I want everyone to list how many years you sat FO at a regional before upgrade, immediately. I want to see how many of you paid your dues before you becoming a captain.
Do you see how ridiculous I sound? Everyone will be paying dues until they reach the top at a major. If some one does ONE step of the hundred step process quicker than you it doesn't mean a damn thing.
