I'm a F/O for a regional airline and am starting the process to bring my soon to be Colombian wife up, she was a flight attendant and will want to do that here. This is a good thread, and as Zondaracer and others have stated, the regionals aren't the greatest to be, the only way I'm dealing with it is that I keep telling myself it's building my flight time and I'm supposed to upgrade within the next 6 months. There is a guy at my airline from Nottingham, his last job was at Colgan Airlines on the Q400. Flight instructing is the way to build time to get to the 1500, I did this but was hired here with 950TT. Some of the guys/gals in my new hire class had 250ish (1 had 11 multi-engine but she washed out) and most of them are sweating having the ATP mins by august, if they don't they will lose their jobs. The 250 hour wonders will not happen again here in the states.
