+1, that fairy tale of getting 1000 TPIC will get you automatically to the major is non-sense only new hires believe. Anyone with a couple of years at the regionals will tell you the real story: military, minorities, friends and family, not just recommendations BUT recommendations from people that matter, these are the people getting their foot at the majors, with exceptions here and there.
