Hey guys,

I just searched "feeder" to find some info on this, sorry to revive an old thread...

Are there any regionals which actually have agreements with the majors? That is, do the owned subsidiaries regularly feed to the majors?

This seems to be the logical way for it to work but here in Oz, mainline tends to recruit from ANYWHERE BUT their wholly owned regional subsidiaries... I guess because recruiting from their own regionals will cost them training twice (once to train you on their heavier metal, and once to replace you in the regional).

I only ask because I'm planning on returning to the US in a year or so and assuming I'll be heading into a regional airline, what would be the best option for future plans into a mainline, or is it just a crapshoot?

Cheers,
BB
