Try to get 1000 hrs. and then go to a decent regional. The ones hiring low timers are not good at all. Don't get fooled by the quick upgrade time. Things are going to slow down and you're going to get stuck in the right seat. If you're going to be stuck in the right seat, at least do it in a decent company like Skywest, Republic, Horizon....... don't get fooled by the "we're going to pay you 21$/HR but heyyy........ you're going to upgrade quick" (read pinnacle) .....I bought that speach. Be prepared to be in the right seat for at least 4-5 years anywhere you go. I'm not saying that's whats going to happen, but if you prepare for the worst, you're going to get a better ride. Hopefully things are not going to be that bad but remember in this undustry, always prepare for the worst, hope for the not-than-bad..........jajaj
Also get your CFII. Don't get comfortable flying 1000hrs around a traffic pattern. Expose yourself to as much IFR as possiblel. That's really going to payoff.

Anyways.....GOOD LUCK !!!!!!!!!
