"Have you heard of the 1000 tpic regional pilot who gets on at a major? Some feel that you are about as likely to see a bigfoot or a mermaid than get on at a major with 1000 tpic. Many feel betrayed because their flight school told them they would be at Major of their choice with 1000 hours. $50,000 debt and 1000 hours later, they are still at a regional. Maybe you have seen him, if so you are one of the lucky ones. Stay tuned for tonights special edition episode of "unsolved airline mysteries." "
