I hope when I upgrade after 11 months I don't end up having to fly with some dumba$$ low timer!!!

So who would be the safer bet as captain of that airliner - you as a street captain with 1700 hrs (how much of that is dual given?) and no time in type, or the guy who was hired at 350 hrs with 1350 hrs in type at the airline?

How about neither. The FAA needs to have 121 mins. I would bet Ultra Grumps left nut that if the FAA had 121 mins, regional pilot pay would go up.
