"I get tired of the animosity directed at those who didn't walk in your footsteps. Get over it; times have changed."

You might as well get used to it. This animosity will not go away.

And the only thing that has changed is the standard held by a few regionals to get the job. The bar has gone quite low. It honestly boggles my mind how little is expected in newhire experience. And it's for no other reason than to keep fresh bodies in the seats rather than raise pay to attract a more well rounded candidate.

I'm just happy that I'm not a regional Captain having to deal with these guys.

All I hear from the Jet U guys is "The minimal experience to get in the seat is all I want/need to put out". It's a shame that these people don't care about reaching a higher personal level before becoming airline pilots.

It's a shame that a job as an airline pilot has become an acceptable way to enter this career.
