It never fails to surprise me how people ignore the evidence which is plainly available when it doesn't fit with their desired world view. Look at the numbers of each type of aircraft in the fleet. Since about 2008 it has been extremely difficult to make career headway by joining a regional operator. Things have improved somewhat over the last 18 months but there are still plenty of guys and girls ahead of you looking either for the Emb right seat, the Dash left seat or simply to move on to another company. If you have aspirations to fly a 737/320 or bigger unfortunately joining a regional airline is one of the longer winded ways of getting what you want. It's a great job though.
