What do other regionals do in regards to this? Because I have no idea. I only ask because I am in the same boat. Hired with low multi time and right at the R-ATP mins of 1,000hrs total time.

Actually hire people with more than 50 hours of multi? 1000 hours of PIC? Just a guess.

A very good guess too, I might add!

At 1500 hours it's pretty sad if you don't have 1000 PIC. I guess at some places that's the norm.

Name one regional who won't take anyone with atp mins only. Cpz maybe? Not even your skywest fantasy land is lucky enough to be able to have higher than atp mins as company mins. Off of your own recruiting webpage under r-atp reqts it says 25 hrs multi. No multi pic required. Every regional needs pilots...bad. Where do you think people are gonna get all this experience you seem to think is required to sit in the right seat of an RJ? Think the ATP reqts aren't strict enough with 1500 hours and needs to specify 500 hours of multi before someone is worthy of getting a min wage entry level 121 job? FAA apparently doesn't agree with your assessment. How bout those f16 pilots with almost no multi time. Guess they should go fly at GLA or amflight to be as good as commander FB and worthy of the right seat of a crj.

I think you are missing the multi pic part, which is a Mesa reqt for upgrade.

1500 hours is a joke, it's even more of a joke because jokers like you believe 1500 hours actually means something.

It's an arbitrary number people smarter than you came up with as an amount that is enough to probably gain some experience from, not really a joke...don't get your point. Still didn't answer the questions though. Good diversion.

How'd you build your time to get god status and bypass the low time unworthy of being in a regional status that everyone else has in your eyes? Why are you still a regional FO? Is your awesome regional canceling flights bc it can't fill the right seat? How is reserve at your regional. Oh yeah...

1500 hours is a joke. It just is, it's nothing.

The funny thing is you didn't do your homework, and the 'quick upgrade' isn't so quick, because you wont even have the bare minimum experience to sit in the left seat for years. ELOHEL. Whoops. $29.

I feel for the real captains at Mesa who have to fly with 75% of the pilots hired in the last year. It's comedy. Watching someone muck up a visual then blab on about "upgradezzzzzzz" must be enough to drive them insane.
