Slats,
I went from the left seat of a 402 to the right seat of a 747, a couple guys who left 9K at the same time I did ended up on Boeing light twins at Omni, a couple fly buses out of BOS and FLL. Now, we all had RJ or turbine time to go along with the 402 PIC. I doubt anyone will go to a legacy directly from 9K, but every knowledgeable pilot I've ever talked to has the utmost respect for 9Kers. 402 PIC won't fill the check box on the HR evaluation form, but when you get to the interview, and especially the sim ride, it will open eyes and doors.
And in the meantime you won't have to eat Ramen noodles 3 meals a day.
PS - Bentley, you are soft.

But JetBlue, Virgin and Spirit don't have sim evals.

Hard to say for sure, but there's a new hire in MAZ for the summer, and the next most junior guy is a 03/26/12 hire who is based in EIS. If they are holding that base now, they will most likely be able to hold the region year round...

How much time do you have? I know for me, it took almost six months to hear back from them, then I spent another year in the hiring pool after that... Just keep checking in with them if you can. I think it's probly just one guy running the recruiting office, unless GS is still helping out with that, so be patient!

It seems that Cape won't really look at you unless you have close to 1,500TT and at the very least your ATP written done, if not your ATP certificate already. Either that or it may be helpful to know someone...
