But this is the most useless post I've ever read on the internet.

Comparing the theoretical future career earnings of two hypothetical people working at different regional airlines is impossible. It's made more impossible by the fact that you've thrown in the "hired at Delta" idea as something that is a function of simply flight time, rather than almost 100% networking.

I could sit here all day and run silly numbers about how working at Horizon will get you to Alaska with only 2,000 hours of 121 time, but in reality the only people who will get hired at Alaska/Delta/United/FedEx are the ones who realize that your logbook is probably the least critical part of your qualifications when it comes to securing a job at a Legacy carrier.
