Well it certainly didn't stop you from applying at a regional, did it? The point is young man, that the regionals will disappear when they have no more supply which we both are sir! There are no more pilots to fly RJ's and mainline will have to do something else. 1500 hour rule has made it virtually impossible for me to use the higher low time pilot light Indian in the past. How are they supposed to get 121 experience? How are they supposed to qualify themselves to get to the majors? It's not me it's the system, don't play hate the player hate the game.

I was a Captain at a 135 carrier for I came to Skywest and apply to every and I mean every major out there..and nada. At the end of the day sir, the majors are hiring pilots with 121 and military and some 135 jet time.

So check yourself young man.
