Just what do you "deserve"? An interview? a job? Why in the world would you think that. You don't deserve anything - you earn it. You think just because you've got a couple thousand hours that you're "entitled" to the right seat of an RJ?
Just how long after you've been in the right seat of an RJ are you going to "deserve" an upgrade? And then "deserve" a job at a Legacy?
Why aren't you working at Mesa? Couldn't get past the phone interview?
*** is this "professional courtesy" you talk about compared with pilots that have 121 or 135 experience? No one gets a free ride, and plenty of 121/135 pilots don't make it past the interview here. It's usually the "I deserve it attitude" that sinks them as well.
