Where is the fastest upgrade time?

[Fly-By-Cable]

My brother is starting his aviation career. Currently instructor at ATP looking to start at a regional. I'd like him to go to place where he can get PIC time the fastest without putting up with too much abuse. Any suggestions?

Thanks.

You're asking for too much.

Upgrade on the CRJ at SkyWest is just over a year, but just like any other airline everything could change tomorrow and it could take him 5 years. It's a great company and there are bases everywhere.

I hate that question..

A new hire can hold captain at Pinnacle if they have 3500tt and 500 turbine.

Does it have to be a regional? Under part 135 you can be a turboprop captain with 1200 hours, even less if its under VFR or as a training captain.

Why would he go 135 when he spent 100k at ALL ATP to learn to fly a regional

Does SkyWest still require 2500TT and 1000 hrs crew time to upgrade? If so, I'm assuming that upgrade would take more than a year for this particular individual at SkyWest.

Actually its 3500 total time, 1000 turbine, and 2000 multi engine.

Why not just ask which regional sucks the most. The answer is likely the same.
