The regionals are a dangerous place to be learning how to fly a twin engine aircraft. I, myself got hired at a regional with 300 hours back in the 90s but we had a thorough sim evaluation and initial training was up or out attitude, no second chances..We were also required to do a turbine transition course in a beech 1900 level d sim...All before starting initial new hire training..With my whopping 300 hours I had 70 hours multi time..These minimums were for flightsafety academy interns/instructors..Normal mins for regionals were around 1200TT/200 multi and American Eagle and Business Express required 1500TT/300 multi..How times have changed..
If one is a decent pilot, they can fly any airplane at 1,500 hours..E190 is another RJ and flying an RJ is no different than flying an A380..I flew both and can even go on and tell you that the A380 was much easier to fly than an RJ..I think guys here make it a big deal because you will get to bypass the regional airlines via the jetblue program and they resent that because they want everyone to pay their dues because they had to..More of a jealousy/resentment issue than a safety issue..E190 is another RJ no different than an E170 or CRJ...

Seriously? Timbo is one of the most knowledgeable posters on this forum. And every so often he even posts something that passes as humor. 
We all benefit when 30+ year career Pilots weigh in with their knowledge and experience.
No one says you have to agree with Timbo - if you disagree feel free to engage and point out where he is wrong.
You will achieve much more credibility on these forums with the above approach then with snarky comments.

NASA please explain how you are a 29 year old MIT grad that sucks at sentence construction, got hired at the regionals in the 90's (when you were 15), and somehow forgot to include your A380 and E190 time in your post on the UAL hired thread? You must have felt that those were not important to share with the others on that thread I'm sure.. You have no credibility here.
Timmy that you?
