He's pretty cut up at the moment as I'm sure you can understand. I'm looking to give him some encouragement and was wondering if you guys can help.

He's got 900TT, 650 on J31/32s (multi crew turboprop) plus another 25 or so on multi pistons and about 120 PIC. Do you think he'd have a shot with any of the regional 121 carriers? I know he meets the minimums for Eagle, but was wondering if they'd actually interview someone with minimum hours.

Thanks for your help. Hopefully we can give him something to smile about.
