Been doing that, I have about 13 internal recommendations at UAL 7 at DAL....several recruiters have told me I have the time required but not having 121 experience is holding me back.

Little known fact by most people, but USCG pilots are Naval Aviators. Navy, Marine, and Coast Guard pilots all wear the same wings.

Ditto to the previous suggestion: if you need to launder your resume you might as well do so at JetBlue or Virgin instead of a regional.

My class at UAL had quite a few 91 and 135 people in it as well as a few from Endeavor....It was a pretty even split of 91, 135, 121 and Military. United does a great job of having various backgrounds in their classes.

6-7 Army pilots last year which is better than the zero at Delta last year. So at least there is a chance.

I don't know how anyone over the age of 25 takes a job at a regional, the payscales for new hires are just pathetic! This coming from someone that CFI'ed years ago and then flew freight in piston airplanes....I made more doing that back in 2000 than I would at a regional today. Wacky business.

Well, here's a reason: got hired in 2003 at 27 from the CFI world, did indeed make crap pay year one, BUT... Doubled that year two, then upgraded and spent the "lost decade" making 6 figures, my last year clocking $147,000.

Have since moved on to a major, but I'll just say: don't judge a book by its first chapter.
