Because of the way the regionals are hiring, I know a couple of low time pilots that didn't choose the CFI path and have chosen to go to regionals that have lower minimums (sacrificing pay, QOL, domicile) instead of waiting to go to there regional of choice because this way they can get the 121 experience, training, turbine time...etc. Then re-applying to their prefered regional 12-24 months later (which had/do have higher minimums/standards). Hoping that gives them the edge to get hired at their 1st choice.

Is this common/looked down upon/hard to do/recommended?????

**I do understand that most on APC will probably just say get ur CFI and do the CFI thing......this is noted**

thanks
