Well, while we are at it... Thoughts on someone who is at a stagnant regional with no upgrade in sight: 4000 TT, 3.9 GPA in undergrad and masters, volunteer work, one job fair, meet and greet, several internal recs, no checkride failures and clean background. NO TPIC TIME. Would going to a LCC and getting typed in a larger AC give me a chance? I should say, with all of the above plus experience in an airbus or something, but still no TPIC time (since going to a LCC would put upgrade at least a handful of years away) - will I ever get looked at?

Thanks for the opinions and insight.
