Even if you went through Mesa or PSA, but you have all the rest, you’re still a respectable candidate.
My point is that the whole mantra that airlines only care about the FAA certificates is a load of crap. Especially and the major level, checking boxes is only part of the minimum requirements.

2. You see XJT FOs getting hired at majors, LCCs and ULCCs on a regular basis. No statistics, but it seems to happen more than other regionals.

Republic- no classes available for the rest of the year.
Endeavor- classes full.

Commutair- getting fat on FOs, need captains.

Upgrade for a new hire will likely be very different from the 7+ year waits that people experienced in the past.
Upgrade time dropped 2.5 years in the recent bid, and future bids should cause it to drop significantly as well.
