It'd be very tight connection... I've heard it goes until 4ish... depends.

What I mean by that is once you get your regional time in and it is time to apply to the good airlines hiring where you want to hang your hat, you will find you are competing against A LOT of pilots willing to do whatever it takes to get those jobs. If you sit there and think "oh I don't know if going to SWA, FedEx, etc is worth the extra effort as opposed to Airline X", that's not the attitude to have IMHO. In any case, good luck.

I still do not think I made my point clear. I am ready to put forth the extra work and have no problem doing it. Both airlines seem like great places to be and one happens to have a harder interview than the other. If the interview is harder because it is a better airline than I am all for it and willing to do the work to get myself there. But it is just that you see, both seem great and one with an interview that will take me a few weeks to put off and prepare for and the other I feel I could be ready for now. If I will end up in the same place, at the same time, why not go with one I know I could ace the interview with now? Do you see my point now?
