PIC time does not matter.

Can you elaborate on this comment?

It matters, but it is no longer something is required to get a call from a Legency carrier with exception to UPS/Fed Ex.

You have FOs with no TPIC getting picked up by Legency carriers, but they are usually Regional FO ~> ULCC/ACMI FO ~> Legency FO.

Usually a recent training event triggers the apps (types, upgrades) along with volunteering, LORs, job fairs/meet & greets.

HELP, what Regional to work for?
 

I'm in my last 50 hours as a CFI and I have 3 CJO, ENDEAVOR, PSA, and ENVOY, what I really want is to work for a WO carrier, I know flows are not realistic in the current state of the industry? but I was wondering if you were in my shoes, what Regional will you choose and why? I'll be commuting to any of their bases. so base is not a big factor for me yet, I'm planning on commuting for 6 months (end of my current lease) and then I'll be probably moving to base.

my head is divided:
ENDEAVOR: best pay but I hear if you get the CRJ-200 is a death sentence.
ENVOY: nice pay good bonus but I really don't want the ERJ145, bases are the best
PSA: Gets ready of the CRJ-200 or ERJ145 problem, but I hear they are over staff, and bases are not great,

So any objective advice will be help full.

Go to the one that will get you to class to the line quickest. Don’t get caught up on the jet so much. If can, consider expanding your options as well to Skywest or Republic as well.

Your goal should be get some time and be ready to bounce ASAP to a ULCC or ACMI in order to make that leap to to a Legency if that is the plan.

Do you want to work for delta? If so go to an AA wholly Owned regional. If you want to work for AA go to Endeavor. Don’t go to a Wholly Owned if you actually want to work for the parent company. Post Covid they have no real interest in hiring from their own feed,

Neighbor of mine has a Delta Interview in 3 weeks and he just finished Sim Training for Captain upgrade. No PIC time yet, and likely won't be any if he's hired since his airline's IOE is backed up 8 weeks.

good on him!

The neighbor I already mentioned above has that situation. He works for an AA Wholly Owned and would like to be with AA mainline since he lives in CLT. But at a recent job fair AA wasn't really interested in talking to him yet. Now if he gets a job offer from his upcoming interview with Delta he'll send that to AA and point out that's he leaving anyway. He said that has worked for others, when AA sees the competing airline job offer they went ahead and offered them a class date.
