you Might as well have a go - their is only one way to find out - no harm in trying(althou a strain on the pocket) - my personal opinion in regards to regionals and link operators is if they want to hang onto crew their going to have to start looking at more mature pilots as their is less chance of them jumping the boat. Best of luck and hope it works out for you-stay positive and stay focused as their are plenty of baggers out there.
