Everyone’s situation/profile is a little different; with the vast majority of regional flying being jet now, I hate the idea that someone would get passed over simply because their 121 time was all/mostly turboprop, but the margins can be so slim between those that get the nod at a legacy/major and those that don’t that it seems like this would be an obvious & easy discriminator. It shouldn’t be that way given the quality/intensity of the hours one builds at QX in the Q400, but I’ve heard plenty of times that legacy/majors sometimes view those with a lot of turboprop hours as a higher training risk. Personally, the Q400 ops at QX seem like great experience so no SJS here or desire to fly less & push more buttons here!

But seriously, being on the Q will not keep you at the regionals because it isn’t keeping people here now is it? Nope they’re off to the green pastures
