Okay, seems my information is out of date. My buddy was stuck in regional package hell for years and years trying to get enough hours for a commercial seat. Wish your son all the best.

Yeah I think that was the case as recently as 5 years ago, but not any more. They are expecting a shortage of 30,000 pilots. One of our Delta pilot friends recently had a female copilot on his transatlantic trip that had only been with Delta for 3 years. He told us it took him 14 years to get the same seat.
