Good luck with that!!!

PSA, USA Jet and Mesa? (if not one or more other airlines) also have no published minimum hours.

I have heard that more than 1 regional is actually hiring guys with NO commercial! WHen they pass their -121 checkrides, they are also awarded their commercial.

Ab-initio is next.
