Shy, agree, regional standards are lower than majors, and they were the lowest when they were hiring 250 hour guys such as yourself.
So you judge whether an airline is a regional or major by it's number of international destinations?!?! Does that make Southwest a regional airline? - Are you new?

Let me educate you. Frontier flys narrowbodies into and out of their own markets. Regionals provide fee for departure feed to major airlines' hubs using turbo props and RJ's. They service the Mainline's markets not their own. Both of which, by the way are real airplanes that require real skill set.
