it's not fair or right for all those out there who are doing it the way it was suppose to be

In what manual does it say “The way it’s supposed to be for a pilot to make it to a Major is...”?
The mindset of “I had to do it , so everyone should have to” is the dumbest thing I have ever heard.
Why is it ok for a young pilot to be in the left seat of a regional but somehow not ok for them to be in the right seat of a major?
Given that airline training should Be to FAA standards no matter if it’s a regional or major that should be a wash.
Which do you think is more beneficial for a young pilot’s development, flying with a regional captain who has all of maybe a couple hundred hours more flight time than the new FO or flying with a seasoned mainline pilot?
Absolutely no reason whatsoever A pilot under 25 can’t be successful given the right training other than bitterness from those who were not as fortunate.
