uhm, LOL. what "larger regional" am I going to get hired at right now?

I think you're right that DAL didnt have a PIC requirement, but that doesnt mean they dont value it. Also, DAL is definitely not the one with the 45k lb requirement... there were 2 or 3 CAs from colgan who went over there this past spring and they had only saab time.
