Majors hiring question
Would it be difficult to get hired at a major without first working at a regional? Just wondering if it makes much difference if you have, say, 1500 PIC turbine time at a regional vs. 1500 PIC turbine time at a small part 135 operation. Does the 121 experience on your resume give you a big advantage?

Internal connections are always the key. If you don't have any insides hook-ups, you will be at a disadvantage compared to a 121 pilot. It also depends on the kind of flying experience you have...gulfstream over-water would be a lot better than citation / king air time.

Go into a more detail. How did you set yourself apart from your friends?
