Not sure how it’s a gimmick if you choose an American wholly owned and have guaranteed flow to mainline no interview .
What is a gimmick is the bonus they offer. American regionals - psa, envoy and piedmont get an American Airlines employee number from day one , it’s pensionable time, free passes on par with main liners , buddy passes ect.
Others that have regionals may offer an interview but not guaranteed employment like American . 5 year flow at Piedmont !

Sounds like some kinda gimmick is necessary from what I'm hearing.
