I just don't think guys with 380 hours have the experience to be in the right seat of an RJ. My opinion's based on past experience flying 727's and 757's for a major airline. That you paid for your "captain ride" at 380 hours and think that makes you hot stuff makes me laugh, too.

You make it sound like money is everything and have bought into the marketing slogans about getting on the list as fast as you can. Well, if everything goes perfect your whole career then it might be true. What they don't tell you is there are a lot of things that can shoot you down along the way. It's really a crapshoot. Luck plays a lot bigger role in the final paycheck than getting hired at your first regional six months quicker.
