I'm a CFI and I see guys every day saying they can't wait to go to airlines like colgan, because you upgrade quickly and get turboprop time. With that type of mentality, they'll never fly anything bigger than a turboprop.
Me? I'd rather wait a bit more and build by experience then go to a "less bad" regional. I wonder why they fail to wonder "hmmm (bad regional) requires a CMEL, (less bad) regional requires 1000TT...I wonder why"
