I can see moving for the sake of going from a regional to a major but skipping from one regional to another in such a short amount of time seems like it would stir up some unwanted attention.
That's just my opinion though.
Does he already have an offer from the other regional? If not, he still has to pass the interview for the other regional. If and only if he gets offered a class date, he has a decision to make and be able to come up with a reasonable response as to why he switched. Pilots move from one regional to another all the time. As long as he can substantiate why he is making the move in future interviews, it is okay in my opinion.
