I have quite a few friends who are Captains at one of the large regionals that is famous for hiring low time, "flight academy graduates".

Sorry I couldn't resist. If you want to be a good pilot, go out and get about 50 hours of tailwheel time and then instruct in one. It is amazing when you get a hot-shot student in a tailwheel for the first time. It is very humbling for them.
