there must be thousands of regional pilots with 3000+ PIC turbojet. its sad that in this industry you get to bypass them all with no PIC time just cause you know someone.

In every industry its who you know. That is why most companies will first interview folks with internal recs. That is the only way to move your app to the short stack. It's seldom the most qualified applicant that gets the job, you just have to meet the mins. Network, Network, Network!
