411A, regional guys flying jets are some of the most experienced in the industry. They fly 4-6 leg days, 4-5 days a week in some of the most chalenging airspace/weather out there. You probably never did any time at a regional. Right now you probably start briefing 500 miles from your destination for an ILS into a 12000ft runway. I would love to see you do a BOS-EWR with delays, low weather and 3 runway changes on final. Remember, no autothrottle or autoland.
In this job, you never stop learning, but I bet you decided you knew enough a long time ago. The only good news is that with so many hours you are probably pretty close to retiring or kicking the bucket.
