You can make countless excues as to why they didn't take the job back then. But with the emergence of the LCC's there is no excuse other then just being entitled and lazy. Great you have 15k hours in a jet, what else have you done in your life??? The number of times I flew with someone that felt entitled to a job with a major was astounding. Just because you have some experience X place for X time dosen't entitle you to anything. Unless your regional has a flow, you have nothing at all and are equally qualified to the guy sitting in the right seat next to you.

At this point anyone over 10 years at a regional as a CA is a liability and NOT an asset like they think they are.
