It's not just getting hired, it's about catching some of the wave and moving up rapidly before it slows down later this decade.

2. Frac upgrade can be years longer than regionals, most frac CA's are not there to build time, so they are not going anywhere until they're ready to retire. They also don't have to retire at age 65.

3. Historically, 121 time has been preferred by most majors over any GA, 135, or frac experience. They are not as picky today for obvious reasons, but 121 regional PIC is really second only to mil experience as far as the majors are concerned.
