You will be very well-respected going into interview with Any of the majors or LCCs. My students are all over the place and most of them never touched a regional. You already have 121 training and time. Do the C-12 deal and the doors will open. It may not happen overnight, but you guys tend to advance to “PC” pretty quickly and the the instructor/safety positions are usually pretty quick too. A guy I went to high school with made it through the fixed wing course and is currently an SP at Cairns in just under 3 years. Got an offer from SW with zero jet time and zero part 121 time. You would be hard pressed to do that at any regional, plus the Army flight pay is a lot better while you wait!
this is indeed happening
