I literally know 2 people that were fired from AMF unjustly, went to regionals, and are now at SWA, and they did that quicker than anyone I know that stayed at AMF. Not to start a debate on whether or not to go to a regional or AMF, but the reality is a bit different than AMF sells it.
My information might be 4 years old and no longer valid. But I can't count how many Eagle FOs that were in my Jumpseat and could not find a job away from Eagle because they had little or no PIC time. They had 3000 hours of 121 SIC time and no Major would evan look at them they said. So go to Envoy and do the flow thru or to a place where you can log PIC or TPIC. You can always go 121 after you get 1000 PIC.
