OR EAGLE!!!!
Uh, excuse me, Eagle is "Outsourced Flying". All regional flying is outsourced flying. Time to wake up now. How many passengers have bought tickets on ae.com? It's aa.com meaning American Airlines, not American Eagle.
I know you're new to this industry but for your own career benefit you must learn that the continued division of pilots into two groups, mainline vs. regional will devastate your career earning potential. Your best hope is that the major airlines discontinue the use of "regional" airlines and begin massive hiring to replace lower paid and equally capable employees at their "regional partners". IMHO, it won't happen but you can always dream of that once upon a time dream job as a major airline pilot.
