Why does everyone call a FO at a regional a gear bitch or "swinging gear" do they not fly every other leg?

Heck, at *my* regional airline, FOs aren't even allowed to swing the gear (can't reach the handle, I guess). But they do fly most every other leg.

Yea, in my experience the biggest gear bitch is a non-typed corporate pilot.
followed closely by a CFI. At least I could still fly enough to stay reasonably proficient (well I was FAA current and could get the plane down in one piece) and it was all legitimately loggable.... none of the "I sit right seat in a King Air 300 part 91, can I log this crap" Probably the only advantage the Jetstream 31 has over the Beech 1900.

Are there any regionals who hire pilots with as little as 650 hours total and 100 multi total.

Just an FYI flyifrvfr......I had that exact avatar picture (hilarious!) and I got into it with "webmaster" on here because he was saying that that avatar pic was offensive. Of course I didn't agree and was asking why that pic was offensive???

He turned into Fidel Castro and said remove it or you will be put in the penalty box... Well sure enough he removed it for me and I was in the penalty box for..I think almost 2 weeks....

Just 4 warning you incase you get a nasty PM from him.
 
FYI EMB170Pilot, I find your current avatar worse than your old one (flyifrvfr's current one) For whatever that's worth. We need more of the girl in Wang Chung's avatar in my opinion.

ExpressJet is currently at 600/100 for mins. Go apply ASAP on their website IF YOU MEET THE MINS. I hear they look back in your logbook to the date you applied, and if you didn't have the mins, you get sent packing. Apply and DO NOT UPDATE THE APPLICATION TIL THEY CALL YOU. If you update it, you'll get put to the bottom of the list.

Ok....so what if I just applied (500/130) and got the form rejection? Should I still not update the application?

I was the first to grab the picture and use it as my avatar. I will keep it until asked by the moderator to lose it. Thank you for the warning, I believe you have posted a previous warning to me concerning the avatar.
