But, as you say, back to the subject at hand....
IMHO, promises of flow through or preferential interviews are up there with "the check is in the mail", "I'll respect you in the morning", and "I won't c** in your mouth."
But what do I know? I am not one of aviation's golden children, and I hate hats.

I'm no mod, and I'm just a piddly little puddle jumper. But somewhere I learned, "Praise in public, chastise in private." Apparently, my teaching was wrong.

Some of the senior guys are great (one of the absolute best has never left to my knowledge- ability to party on layovers makes the top 5 easily... and in the cockpit straight forward, enjoyable and standard), but somehow never got the chance (perhaps due to never applying, you dummy)... several come to mind.
Yes, RM- if you ever tried to launch golf balls above you on the approaching airplane at the golf course in LAN, that dummy is you. Look me up on facebook.
There are several others, WW, TL, and TK among the quick recall.

Great and when you are a Captain, you can earn fourteen bucks an hour less than a FO on the same equipment at Delta.
I'd go to Pinnacle before US until that USAPA mess is straightened out. There may be some fantastic individual pilots over there, but collectively they the Gulfstream / Mesa / Freedom of the legacy carriers.
... at least better than GoJetsssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss.

There should be at least 3 "s's" per airplane they operate haha

Just how big of a fish are you looking to catch here? I'm not entitled to anything. It's a hypothetical scenario. If there were a flow, would my seniority hold it? Do I meet the criteria? Is my background clean? Can I pass the training and perform the duties? Questions such as these should've been answered before I ever started flying for a regional. Unless you feel that there should be multiple levels of safety? You shouldn't have guys flying at regionals who could not move on IF they so desire. In my opinion, it would be a win-win for all involved.

There shouldn't be multiple levels of safety, but there are. Being a pinnacle pilot, you should realize that they function on a much lower level- if you don't, perhaps you aren't qualified to move on.

Okay, I will play too. I do not now, or have I ever, based any career decisions upon a current or would be flow opportunity. What exactly do you mean by lower level? I've been privileged enough to be in the jumpseat on DAL, and while being line checked, the glorius, double-breasted captain, seemed to have forgotten his medical certificate and his company manuals were more than 2 revisions behind. I couldn't help but feel sorry for the guy. It could happen to anybody right? Not sure what happened during the debrief, didn't stick around. But to me, that seemed pretty "low-level".

You remember I'm sure when 9E checkride busts were at 50%. You've had to fight with mx control over the numerous deferrals on your airplane. You've had to haggle with crew scheduling who are trying to give you illegal rest. That doesn't happen (or is exceedingly rare) at higher functioning carriers. Cut the pride and realize how things are at 9E.
