How many hours would you recommend coming in with if you wanted to have a chance at getting a job with a respectable decent paying regional?
think i just replied to your other thread. The old magic number (in recent years) was a 1000 tt/100 me. Prior to say, 10 months ago, you could have your pick of regional airlines with 800TT/50ME , skywest might have still been requiring the 100ME. Things to note though, while the minimums will bounce around based on the need, the competitive times might be higher. When you see them come lower, it means, get your stuff in,we're desperate. The guy i was flying with last week made mention that in 04 when he got in (to my crappy regional) he had around 2000TT or so, and spent most of his time hauling checks to get some decent multi-engine time. Best of luck.
