I know you feel that way right now, but take it from the hundreds of thousands of other pilots out there who are relieved to finally have something like HR5900 in place, that it is a good thing.

Realistically it will only set you back a year, if that. Instead of getting hired with 1000/100, you work a little longer and get 1500/100. Not only are you more experienced and prepared for the regionals, but they're also getting a better applicant.

Keep your head down and good luck!
