Post Young pilots

Hi all. This is my first post on this forum. I am currently working on my multi- commercial rating at a part 141 University. Almost every day at the airport I am hearing about the possibilities of graduating (which I have done already), finishing up your commercial license and getting a job with the regionals.

I have read how a lot of you guys/gals already in the industry are a little unsure about such low time folks getting jobs as FOs. However, since I am in the position to possibly get a job as a low time pilot, why shouldn't I take it? I have a lot of student loans to pay off and need to get my career started ASAP.

I know the number one response to the question that I am raising is experience, but I feel like I could handle it, especially after I complete the optional CRJ jet course that is available to me.

I was just curious as to what you guys think about it. If these low time pilots can make it through training, then why don't they deserve to be there?
