Also keep in mind the 1st 6-7 months you will be full time doing 8 on and 6 off. That will cover new hire F/O training, 3 F/O rotations, which will be followed by the normal Capt upgrade. That is one week of Capt ground school, then 3 rotations in the left seat with an Instructor, a week of sims in Dallas (to include the Capt checkride), followed Capt IOE. Once all that is done and you have 100 hour as a Plane Sense Captain, about 2-3 rotations after IOE, then you can go to Part-time status.

If I was a passenger on one of their airplanes I'd like knowing the SIC had at least that much experience.
Your view will change once you get some actual experience under your belt.

You’d love to find out that there are 21 year old new hire regional pilots with less than 1000hrs in airplanes! Certain sim time (50?) counts toward the ATP.

It’s because they have more than enough SIC candidates. 1000TT is just a way to thin the herd.

Anyone hear of PS FO's or CAs skipping regionals for lets say JB, SWA, or Spirit? I know some multi time would be needed before making that jump. If airlines are the end goal, would you still need to sit at a regional before moving on to a major? Just wondering if anyone has heard of someone progressing to a major from the single engine turbine and maybe their background/experience/multi time required. I know every case is different, curious to know if its possible. Thanks in advance.
