As much as many of us would like to think we are passed the regional job, the fact is that they may be the only viable option. I am a furloughed 747-400 FO, I have been a Captain at a regional, and have no big negatives on my file. I have applied to over 20 positions ranging from corporate, every major, single engine props, and regionals. I have received all of THREE replies. One regional, and two propeller jobs, none of which pay over $30k. THAT IS THE REALITY.
EXACTLY. All the climbto350 openings are "must be typed and current with 500 PIC in type". Apperently there are type rated 7X drivers on the streets. I have seen KAL post for 777 FO openings for those with 1000+ 757/767 time on Rishworth or VOR Holdings. Good luck.
