If he's a straight out of ATP general aviation pilot with a few hundred hours under his belt, upgrades should be the last thing on his mind right now. He's most likely thousands of hours away from meeting the requirements to upgrade on any jet and probably at least a thousand away from it on a prop. Seniority isn't going to be his problem, flight time will be. But, the even more important thing is that as a brand new airline pilot with his limited general aviation experience, he's going to be more than overwhelmed with being an FO.

Tell him to go somewhere that is a good company that he thinks he would enjoy, study hard, and worry about being an FO... it will be more than enough for him for the time being. Upgrade will come when his senority, flight time, and abilities/experience allow it.

This is the most straight-forward and perfectly written statement on the regional web board this year. It should be required reading to all CFI's and pilots applying at regionals.
