But if you are still a regional FO...volunteer! ASAP. Safety. Recruiting. Do something besides check in for your trips. Most guys I know from regionals at FedEx have down something besides fly the line. Some say it shouldn't matter, but life ain't fair, and it being an good employee or pilot isn't always enough. You need to step up where you can.
And 58 at AA...

Does it matter what collaterals you do at a regional besides fly the line or are certain ones weighted/ranker higher than others in terms of desirability to the majors? If so, what should aspiring new hires shoot to pickup along the way to make their resume stronger?

Most recruiters stress a leadership type role looks better.

Head of a committee, or vice chair, etc as opposed to something that's not really leadership orientated.

And naturally, safety/CRM looks good if you can get in.

How about Union participation? Is that viewed as a good or bad thing by the hiring departments?

Hasn't held anybody back as far as I know.

I know more than one MEC chair, contract rep, LEC rep, whatever that got hired if that's what you're asking.

From all backgrounds, to all seats in MEM, and to CGN:
"...giving a "Welcome Aboard" presentation on behalf of FDX ALPA to our newest pilots on February 3, 2016. The large class of 34 pilots began their new hire indoctrination on 1 February. The new hires were assigned as MEM FOs on the A300, 757, 767, 777, MD-11 and CGN 757. The backgrounds of our newest pilots were USMC, USAF, USN, Jet Blue, SWA, ATLAS, Delta, Pinnacle, Miami Air, Compass, GoJet, Mesa, Kalitta and Air Wisconsin. Please join us in welcoming our newest pilots to the FedEx Pilot seniority list! The famous caboose seniority number is 4345."

Yep. I met a new-hire headed to HKG who had zero recs. He did have 767 time though.
