(This all assuming one has a 4 yr degree and no/minimal background issues of course).
On would think they would prefer to hire from their LCC competitors rather than poach their own regional feed but that does not seem to be the case (yet). But if you're otherwise competitive for the bigs, then a big-boy type rating might be icing on the cake.
