The truth should be said; it would really suck for me to work for a regional especially when I think about how much $$$ I used to make. I understand that I don’t have any pic time but I also heared that DL hired regional FOs with no time on the left seat at all, in fact they only did regional for 2-3 years. “Heared it from a compass recruiter”

Now, if stick with my airline and build another 3000 hours which would get me 6k hours total, would that make me more competitive? I might be able to jumb left seat after passing 5k hours.

I’m really surprised that legacy carriers doesn’t really care if an applicant have 3000+ hours on the same equipment they operate.
Aviation rules in Saudi is FAA in fact all the airlines trains their pilots in the states.
