That is a fact. Saw interviewees in their regional uniforms the other day. My class had numerous regional pilots, and they were very sharp. I asked Doris to look up my 3 mil buddies. She commented on their low hours on all 3 of them. Hours is a big requirement, apparently, with UA. I can see why, training here certainly depends on a pilot's previous "glass" experience.
