Also, I think there’s increasingly a good argument to be made The Regional’s are not where you want to go early on. Just too stagnant for fo’s right now.
Yes you're right, two airports is XC, but for certification purposes, XC has to be at least 50nm away to count. Check out:

As for the regional comment: All I know is: anything is better than sitting around in a piston burning holes in the sky. That turbine time is the most important number for airlines (other than total time).
Plus, 121 time is better than 135. And correct me if I'm wrong y'all, but the regionals have to be the best, and easiest, way (for piston guys) to jump into 121 ops.
