Anyways, my question is, what if i applied? Could there be a chance of getting an interview? Let's say i get offered the job and the university still isn't on the list? Is that pretty much the end of me? I'd have to wait till 1500? Do regionals even look at the list of which schools are on it?

Or is this a stupid question? lol

I'm just afraid that by the time i build up to 1500, the regionals won't be hiring anymore. Regardless of pay or anything negative that is said about the regionals, I just want to be in the 121 field...

Any input would be appreciated. Thanks in advance

Institutions Authorized to Certify its Graduates for an Airline Transport Pilot (ATP) Certificate with Reduced Aeronautical Experience:

What you need to know about the 1,500-hour rule:

1500-Hour Rule

Some regionals and most majors require an unrestricted ATP, so RAE not applicable or age only restricted ATP accepted--1500+TT, all ATP flight requirements satisfied, age 21/22 pilots....for "age only" R-ATP, the "R" drops off when pilot turns 23.

PM me if you have more questions.

I kind of figure that RAE doesn't apply to me and I might as well force myself to be patient

The way the regionals are hiring right now I'm sure there are plenty of jobs out there where a 1,000 hour pilot could fly more than 20 hours per month.
