Posters have ceased bothering to give you direction, as it's well established that you'll reject it out of hand.
This is actually untrue and if you would read my posts you would know that. Reading comprehension really isn't your thing is it?

The problem you are describing is entirely theoretical. As theoretical as me debating whether I should play for the Yankees or the Dodgers. I mean, I don't really know if pinstripes flatter me. (The answer is neither - I suck at baseball and neither team has any cause to be aware of my existence).

Until you have one or more CJOs from airlines, you have no decision of where to go (other than whether you show up at your 135 job). Once you get one or more, -then- you have a decision before you.

Addressing steps 1,2 and 3 of a problem, often gives clarity to how to proceed on steps 6,7 and 8. Pants go over underwear.

You're lying again. I've quoted you saying it, and provided links, and your apathy and resistance to do what's necessary to be hired is well documented in multiple places in this forum.

Do we need to quote you again to show the lie, as you insist on doubling down?

If you put half the effort into getting hired, that you put into finding excuses why you can't be hired, you'd already be well established. And probably clean-shaven (while doing the same job as netnets).

Republic or Skywest are good companies too but I think going to either of those two would limit my chances of getting hired into a major.
Skywest and Republic are losing pilots just as fast as every other regional airline. Like many posting on here you simply gave us your hours. That covers a small part of getting hired at a major. What is your education level? Grades? Checkride failures? Employment held with management functions?

You either haven't read all of my recent posts, or you didn't comprehend them. Go back and try again.

I'm a college grad and had a couple of primary failures but none in the 135 world or on my type rating rides. No management jobs. Not a CFI.

Yes, every time just before I meet a recruiter. So far I've been able to hide it from my current employer. It's a good thing I don't see my bosses very often.

I seriously don't understand the shaving thing. Your employer makes decisions based on your facial hair? They're gonna can you if your chin is smooth? I don't even see how this would be a topic of discussion in a legit work environment. I mean, if you show up with a beard when one is not allowed, sure, but you chose to lose the beard; what's the issue?

I'm confused. Are you for or against them mandating you be clean shaven. I think the reasoning is that the oxygen mask wont seal against a beard very well. Same in the chemical plants. They have to be clean shaven so they can put on a mask in case of an inadvertant gas release. If a safety guy sees you with stubble, you are fired immediately, escorted to the gate and your credentials revoked...
