Question about getting hired

Quick question about who is hiring. I have 5000+ TT with about 3500Multi and 250+ TPIC. I'm looking for suggestions on which regional that might be interested. I am in need of jet time and FMS experience. I'm hoping this will not be long term and I want to avoid any training contract issuses should a job offer become available.
Thanks

Skywest is hiring, don't need an internal recommendation to get called. If you show up to one of the open houses you should get scheduled for an interview right away.

Pretty much all regionals are hiring right now, and they all have their upsides and downfalls.

Upside? I have NEVER heard of any upside for a Regional! Can you list one? :-)

You're overqualified for the regionals. And at some point you'll have like 9000 hours with 4000 RJ SIC time if you do go to one. If you get on with a regional I'd fly a prop and get that pic.
