If you are at a WO in a base you like, I would hang tight and keep applying. I think you would be competitive. Unless you do not mind being stuck at the LLC, if AA doesn’t work out

I'm at 3,300 TT, all Jet, and I've been in the regionals for 3 years, 1.5 as a CA. Just over 1,000hrs PIC in the E-175. The regional I work for has never hired an LCA who was also a reservist so I don't see that happening any time soon.

I'm just starting as an AC in the Heavy. So I can continue building PIC in the Reserves even if I go left seat in a different 121 operation.

I got the sense at the AA hiring fair that they didn't care too much about SIC in a 320/737 only the PIC.

But it sure feels like a dead-end to keep drawing lines in the sky with a ERJ...

A lot of the regional guys came over with 10,000hrs plus. When your just ready to finally throw in the towel you will get a call.
