I don't understand going to another regional to start with. Do your homework then pick one you want to stay with then stay there. Why go to one you know you are going to hate? Just be a cfi or fly freight till you get what you want. Seniority is everything.
There were a couple TSA guys that were interviewed at RAH not very long ago. The chief pilot for CHQ came down on them pretty hard about abandoning their company. Said it showed something about their character and made them a higher liability to hire. I took a few new hires I saw at the hotel for XJT to lunch since I had a vehicle two days ago. He was one of them and was a nice and intelligent guy. They simply didn't like the fact that he hadn't shown loyalty.
Depending on how the person hiring you feels it could hurt.

Ah whatever. What does CHQ expect. They're offering a 2500$ bonus to people w/ERJ time. Do they think that people are going to get that instructing? That bonus is SUPPOSED to draw people away from other places.

I had a friend recently leave ASA for RAH; his interview was about 20 minutes long and was immediately placed in the next class. Shame on him; now he lives in domicile, sees his family more often and will upgrade in the same amount of time with an operator that has a more stable future full of growth.
TD, there are too many hypocrites in aviation, don't be one of them.

i interviewed last month and the chief pilot didn't come down on me for ditching TSA (must've been understood that i had a good reason). Kim did ask, and i gave her the straight answer as i saw it (bad work rules, mgmt that hates the pilots, etc.)
i was offered a class date within 30 minutes

Hey man I was shocked to hear it too. I think it comes down to the person hiring. The chief pilot is well known to be hard like that. The #1 pilot who also does hiring probably would have welcomed them aboard. Just saying some people out there might look at that stuff. Of course there's a difference between spending only 4 months at a place after they paid to train you vs a 2-3yr guy a mesa who now is making the jump.
