Atlas or similar.

Any big aircraft type (or better yet, a regional type AND a big aircraft type) is going to trump a regional only type when it comes to an OTS hire and the company would prefer to NOT hire from their own codeshare regional and handicap their own feed.

it isn’t personal, it’s just business. And no, the legacy pilots at your code-share major do not give a $hit about you, not even the alumni from your regional. They believe you are underbidding them for THEIR flying and, although better than scabs, aren’t just a whole lot better.

So get in, get hours, get the next step up the ladder as soon as possible, then the one after that. Waiting for flow is only for those who know that they’ll never get there without it.
