Also, the fact that you even have an R-ATP is because someone agreed with you about the quality of the flight time. Instead of feeling sorry for yourself, you should be thanking your lucky stars you can go straight to a regional instead of hacking out hundreds of hours as a CFI.
Also, you should have known what the requirements for airlines were before you jumped ship. Being salty about a rule that benefits the profession as a whole because of your (possibly) poor planning is not a good look.
And this is no hate toward mil guys, I was/am one.
I didn’t read his post as him *****ing or being salty, I think he’s just stating the obvious. It’s hard to find a job other than a regional with less than 1500tt and an unrestricted ATP.
And no way in hell we should repeal or roll back the 1500 rule. Same goes for the 1000sic to upgrade. Hell no
