I'm saying that he is missing the 121 check box, and he has a lot of competition that isn't. Always, always TPIC first, but he has that....I don't see much value-added to more than 2K TPIC.

And obviously apply to all majors airlines...if he gets on with Spirit or VA that would obviously be better than a regional and he could still apply to the legacies from there if he's so inclined.

If he doesn't get any bites, despite have plenty of TPIC then he may need to diversify his resume...or make some new friends. Any new FO at a regional today is going to meet CA's who will be at the majors in a matter of months.
