In all seriousness, what some of these guys are saying is true my friend. Are you really ready for a regional job YES/NO. Why yes? Well b/c most captains now a days are pretty much babysitters anyways, so they wont let you get them in trouble. Why NO? Well b/c if your babysitter has a heart attack then you might be in trouble. Will some regionals hire you? Yes they will, why? b/c even though every company has SAFETY as their number one priority all they really care about is making money. It's like McDonalds, their number one thing is Customer service, do they really provide the best customer service? NOOOOO, at the end of the day they still jer* off on your burger and give it to you all smashed!!!
I'm not going to lie, when I had your time i dreamed that an airline would even look at my resume (even if it was to get a cheap laugh) but no one even considered me until I had almost 1600 TT.
At the time I didnt understand, but my lack of understanding was due to my lack of experience.
My recent SIM partner had almost 400 hours, did he pass training? Yes, but honestly only b/c the instructors and MY SELF helped him out a lot. Was he a nice guy? YES. Has he humble about his experience leve? HELL YES! But would I really trust the guy whe the s*** hits the fan. And I mean when it REALLY hits the fan (Engine failure, in hard IMC and me passed out b/c of the Big Mac with "special sauce I got") NO. He still passed, and even though for the Next 6 months to a year he's going to be baby sat by captains I think at the end he'll be OK as long as he remains humble and the SH*** doesnt hit the fan.
Good luck chief and if you do get on with an airlines, really dont wear the back pack, or go to Wal-mart in a full uniform and I mean full! With the hat and everything! I'll laugh at first, but I might trip ya afterwards.
Good luck!
