True, and it has swung both directions with the varying supply/demand cycles that have occurred.

The most extensive regional interview is easier than the easiest legacy interview (I dont know about the nationals).
In general, yes, but you can't make that general blanket statement. Pre 9/11, COMAIR's interview process was pretty extensive. I'd even go so far as to say more extensive than two separate legacies that hired up until recently as far as the overall amount of knowledge that was required. Barring all the TMAAT stuff. Just sayin'

Something to keep in mind though, a few years ago the competition at JB was pretty stiff. Lots of qualified guys wanting to get on there. Many of the threads on this board used to be dominated with JB hiring. They also used to have a rather extensive/lengthy 3 phase hiring process where guys waited weeks and sometimes months to see if they'd moved on from one phase to the next. Also, 1000 PIC wasn't jack as far as trying to get a call there goes.
Now, fast forward to the last time they had a hiring cycle. No more lengthy 3 phase process, and lot's of guys getting the nod without 1000 PIC, I personally know 3 of them.
