Hello all. I have heard thru the grapevine that many of the regionals do not really want higher time pilots. The reason that I have heard is that if they are high enough time they will leave as soon as a better carrier calls them and the regional wants them to work for at least a few years.
I guess my question is a two part question. Is this the case with the regionals and if it is, how much time is too much? The reason why I ask is that in the next year I will leave the military with about 4,500 TT / 2,000 PC, and my ATP. Knowing how competitive the majors are there is a strong possibility that I may not get a job there right away. I would of course want to keep flying and building towards that major airline seat at the regionals, but will I have too much time to get hired by them?
