for the benefit of your family and the families of your passengers and the industry, why don't you hold on trying to get a jet job before you gain some experience. It will serve you better in the long run, become a cfi and instruct for a while before you go for the airlines. In my opinion it is dangerous and irresponsible to make your self available to these dump regionals (mesa, pinnacle, etc.) that will hire you with a commercial multi license. I try to avoid jumpseating on the these because I don't feel confident in the ability up front. RAH will not hire you with 250 hours, forget about it. Who cares about multi, all you need is a hundred. Get some commmand experience. If you were wondering I got on at RAH with 2000TT and 700MEL.
