You may have misinterpreted what I said. I did not tell him to avoid the LCCs. My advice was simply that if he was looking to get hired somewhere without delay and build 121 time...go to one of the higher paying regionals as they pay halfway decent. And BTW not every regional will you be stuck as an FO forever. Was just pointing out some regionals pay better than some ULCCs for first year.

By all means...if he can get hired at a ULCC quickly, then go there and build experience. Next time I'll be more clear to avoid putting out "the worst advice ever seen."
