Thanks everybody for all the replies. From those of you that have given insight from your companies, I really appreciate the info.

In answer to Jim718181, All of the good 135 operator's out of ISP and FRG are Wyvern / ArgUS platinum, and therefore require high time just to apply. Not to mention they pay well and attract quality pilots. This is a main reason I'm looking to the regionals in the first place.

I haven't really discounted anybody yet, and I sent resume's via airlineapps to just about everyone (except SKW, who for some reason doesn't do that). I'll address some of these issues brought up here in the interview if I get one. Thanks again everyone, and I welcome any further advice.
