No offense but wouldn’t it be nice to say “Legacy now, skip the regionals”
You need the regionals. You want the prize of a Legacy, build the 121 experience and total time.
1800 TT is nothing when you don’t have military or something special with it; 91/135 doesn’t help you, possibly hurts you without 121 time.
Find a regional, deal with the financial hit, and network.
I got onboard United from a strictly corporate/charter background. I couldn't afford the regional pay back on the late 90s. I always thought the regionals needed cheap labor more than we needed them.
That being said, use the shotgun approach and apply to every airline that you think you'd be happy at. Then wait and see who calls. Also, triple check your applications for errors. Then double check them again.
