Sweet Jesus you guys are obtuse. NO ONE CARES, don't you get it? You think AA, USAIR, JB, SWA etc is going to give a rats a$$ about what crappy regional you came from? For God's sake people DO NOT CARE. If you are a good pilot, not a jerk (so as to brag about the awesome regional you came from and therefore look like a complete freaking tool), have your stuff together enough to do your job professionally and haven't failed every checkride you've ever taken, you'll probably get the job.

I came from the tough non "scab" regional (Eagle) and passed everything the first time around with 300 hours total time *golf clap*. Guess what that means to my current employer? ZERO. On all the interviews that I've done guess how many times someone has said "Oooooooooh you came from EAGLE? Wow!!!.... please tell me more!!" ZERO. All they want to know about is my decision making ability, my jet time and sometimes my education, GPA and all that business. I've never had someone grab a hanky and call all their friends over because I came from AE.

I work hard, know the jet that I'm on inside and out, and I'm professional without having a stick up my backside. I fly well, I treat others with respect and all that happy stuff. THAT is why I was hired on top of my jet experience.

Anyways, rant over but please -- get a clue.
