Guess times really have changed.
If you have an ATP and a medical getting a regional job is a certainty these days and you can have your pick. Problem is a lot of those pilots have never had a real job and assume as soon as they get mins for the next level someone is going to hand them a job. After a month of simply submitting an app you get questions like why hasn’t xyz airline called, I submitted over a month ago.
