Maybe If you had said a bottom feeder has a less chance of getting hired then a F-15 guy at a major I'd agree. But when comparing regionals it's pretty much all McDonalds.

AA, Alaska, United, and Jet Blue have all hired our pilots this year. 350 pilots and 50ish gone to a legacy or LCC this year. Whatever you think of the Piedmont, it hasn't stopped our pilots from moving up and on.

The fact that people think majors care what regional you worked for is hilarious

This. They don't care and in many cases haven't even heard of your airline. The HR dept and recruiting folks probably have but I've had jumpseaters who hadn't even heard of my carrier, which has been around for nearly 50 years.

Mostly they're ignorant and uninterested in what happens outside their world. It's just the way it is. It's not a slam. I'm totally ignorant of the 135 and corporate world and when I fly with someone who lived in that world I learn new things all the time.

Recruiters don't care who you work for as long as it's a 121 carrier. I believe this completely.

I agree with Tunes and Saab 2000. The first time I heard of this was in the late 1990s when we were told that anyone who paid for their training was going to have problems getting hired by the majors. Today, most of those people are at the majors. Then we heard after 9/11 that anyone who went to GoJet was going to have problems. Then Skybus...

It goes on and on every generation. But it never slows people's career progression. It just stresses them out unnecessarily.

A-freakin-men!! So who IS 9e? And Goat jet?

Use Wikipedia

or be an actual pilot. Airline pilots would know these.

Bingo, would it hurt to know a little bit about the industry you work in?

STOP the lateral moves!
 

Hahaha BE an actual pilot? Man you must be one of the cool kids on campus using all the new talk and saying things like o-em-gee... Just trying to understand what you guys write without having to open another tab and see what it means or keep a list of abbreviations taped to my phone.

Jerk.

How many people on this board are not pilots? I would wager it is somewhere around half.
