So for those individuals who want/need the PIC time, the 737 might be for them. It’s either that or go to Mesa
If you need flying time, as either FO or PIC, the 737 flies VERY FEW hours, relative to the regionals. That is why Atlas has purchased 737s to fly around the country empty, just for training. It is basically IMPOSSIBLE, to consolidate on the 737, by just flying operational flights.
