I don't think you have any room to talk about how the SSP is a short cut, considering Pinnacle had a publish minimums of 1,000TT+ and 200+ Multi at the time you got hired. How many hours did you have? 400? 500? Pinnacle took guys from ATP or Jet U with much less than the published minimums. So based on what you just said. If you think the SSP is a short cut, because of getting hired at Delta without the published minimums, doesn't that mean that you took a short cut too? By going to Jet U and not meeting the published minimum of 1000+TT and 200 Multi? You choose Jet U and took the short cut instead of going out and teaching and fly freight to build time. You went there probably because you wanted to get to the right seat of an RJ ASAP, which is fine, but don't say the SSP is a short cut and later say, you didn't take one yourself.
