Exactly. These people thinking they will get quick PIC and move on like magic are freaking clueless to reality of major airline hiring. Thousands of regional pilots with 5x as many hours + TPIC, multiple type ratings, many more years of experience, line check airmen with stacks of recs are out there still waiting for those "major" phone calls.
UAL recruiter told me 8000 hrs was what is competitive right now.. People get in with less but not many..
