Anyone flying a Kingair or above should be the succession material.
A large number of those in the regional twin networks around the country are cadets themselves. Even they are attacked for not having enough single pilot time before joining that regional and "stealing" a job a GA charter pilot or instructor was "entitled" to.

Any idea of a standard pilot career path a pilot should take in GA before joining an airline was thrown out years ago.
