Often it is the risk takers who rise above. Despite what others think starting companies grow faster and it is possible those at TSA will watch new hires at Gojet blow past them in upgrade and experience.
I think that the mistake is in considering the regionals as a career instead of just a rung on the ladder. Pay should be low and upgrade fast.

Actually, some may, some may not. This has nothing to do with high motives; most would just like to avoid potential cockpit conflicts. Also, at some point a pilot is involved in the interview process at most airlines. If the pilot interviewing is wearing an ALPA pin, and your resume has GoJet... well, not necessarily a killer, but you are working up hill from there.
Heck, some EAL scabs have been hired at some airlines. Still not something I would recommend.
