Are you getting interview prep for a regional
Just asking around about career preparation for a regional job. If you did so, your thoughts on whether it helped or was necessary at all? I'm all for going in prepared, just curious if this level of guidance is necessary in the current environment.

I would only bother for a regional if you have some serious background issue which might need to be addressed carefully and correctly.
In this climate that would probably be more than three checkride busts, non-traffic criminal convictions, or possibly multiple employment terminations. Stuff like that.
I guess I'll add that if there's one and only regional which has a junior base such that you can drive to work, I'd probably pull out all the stops to make sure I didn't screw that one up somehow. Interview prep is cheaper than commuting, on multiple levels.

3 regional interviews, 3 CJOs, each interview lasted no more than 7 minutes.
