This is really nothing new. I was at the regionals 10 years ago and all of the same things described happened back then. I think the majors just reject hiring people that they feel would not be good captains whereas the regionals give them a chance.

Twenty years ago you just didn’t see this mentality. The golden egg *was* the regional turboprop upgrade and you had to be ready.
Sounds like you’re one of the more interested FOs which is why you probably get more interaction from the LHS. Kudos.

Also activate the mic in the observer mask and turn the intercom to on, watch how they look around for the constant static source.
