I was just making the point 121 time is 121 time no matter where you are at especially If you have TPIC. You made it sound like 121 time at SkyWest was somehow better than 121 time at F9. That’s all.
My point was that 121 time is 121 time, and you'll get PIC time at skywest (or most other regionals) faster than at F9, plus you'll get less drama. I have a bunch of very smart friends who, when faced with the requirement to regain recency *anywhere* before they would have their choice of almost any major/legacy, specifically chose skywest over spirit and/or frontier based on the lack of drama and utter predictability in how their progression would go. The reality of signing, checkout, 1 yr, and upgrade bonuses makes several regionals a better choice than F9 at this point.
