Incorrect. "1500 hours and a pulse" does not get you into all Regionals right now. It will get you into a Regional, but it may not be your top choice. Plenty of people are getting the TBNT letter from Regionals such as Endeavor and Republic.

The CFI will be more adept at observing and at CRM.
Knowing when to speak up.
Good part of the job is to monitor and critique in a diplomatic way.
#2 guy has never had to observe and spot the error let alone critique in a non objectionable way.
Every landing you walk away from right?
Ideally:
1- Turboprop 91/135 at 250 hrs (1900 or KingAir ) and loads of approaches in poor weather. Last 300 hrs PIC
2. CFI time, CFII and 300-400 ME instruction given, not just around the cabbage patch.

Endeavor, Republic, and SkyWest all have classes full for many months.
