Every Regional Airline is hurting for pilots so there's stagnation in many places. There are many High Time Captains that can't get a call. Remember you can get to a point actually that you have too much PIC time and some Majors don't like that either. Believe me I know more then a few people with perfect records that aren't getting calls.
Upgrade and getting about 1500 hrs of PIC time seems to be golden ticket.
