Really no one knows the secret. There's FOs that get hired at mainline quite often. Many mainlines don't have a turbine pic requirement. For most people it seems they need 1000 Turbine PIC to move on. A lot of people that move on have been here 6-12 years but that number is artificially high considering the non-existent or very low hiring at mainline for many years (retirement going from 60->65 etc) i.e. The lost generation.

Thanks for the reply. I suppose the answer would be as always to get as much time as possible and keep the airlineapps profile updated regularly. SkyWest is the one regional I wouldn't mind being at for a long time during the wait but hopefully the predictions are correct about legacy hiring continuing to increase.

Additionally with all the bonuses and pay increases the regionals are introducing, there will come a point where it is no longer cost effective to continually outsource their flying since the days of extremely cheap RJ labor is quickly becoming a thing of the past.

Um no I didn't remember. How could one remember a nonexistent event that you foresee coming with no fact to back up?
Also retirements won't make a difference? Not sure I understand what you mean by that. If you mean it won't make a difference in how many need to be hired, then I have never heard such a naive (for lack of a better word) statement. For every one that retires is another one they need to replace, but surely you should already know that.
If your entire post was a joke or sarcastic that I didn't pick up on (which I'm starting to think is the only possible solution) then I apologize.

United has changed is hiring forecast about 3 times in the last few months. It means they don't know how many pilots they want either.

Hello,
Im starting class in December. I just met ATP Requirements. I have 260 FW PIC hours. Many of my hours are helicopters. About 50 of that FWPIC is also dual received. (Getting instrument rating and such) Does skywest care about that 50 FWPIC also being Dual received? Or do they just want the FAA minimums? Thanks.

I saw a chart somewhere recently that showed about 40% of new hires at UAL last year were from Skywest and Express Jet. I have a buddy at UAL (been there 18 years) who told me that Skywest is highly regarded there and that he hadn't seen the pie chart I mentioned but that "a lot" of guys hired at UAL were from Skywest.
