"If you work for such and such regional with a bad reputation you'll never get hired by a major" is simply just a rumor. If you wish to apply to other legacies you can do so while you wait for your flow. That way you'll have the flow through to American. I would recommend a solid regional with a flow through such as Envoy. Just remember that once overseas it becomes much harder to schedule and make it to interviews back in the mainland. One isn't necessarily better than the other. Honestly PIC time on the RJ and international WB experience are both considered very valuable experience. In order to go fly internationally you'll have to go through a regional and get some jet experience.
#Southwest hiring pilots free
Best luck to your future! If you have questions feel free to message. However at this point there is no reason to go to those places unless you are really close to one of their bases. Tons of folks doing just fine who have flown for those so called outfits.

Thanks in advanceIn order to go fly internationally you'll have to go through a regional and get some jet experience. This is my end goal I will fly for anyone at this point but, I really like the culture of Southwest and want to get to them as quickly as possible to maximize my career and earning potential. Since Southwest doesn’t have a direct flow I was curious what they look for and if one avenue looks better then the others. Furthermore, you’ll have an upper hand with having experience on bigger jets over those that have flown for regionals in the U.S. To go fly internationally and get your hours quicker on bigger aircraft because the requirements are lower and the experience is better then flying for a regional on smaller jets. I’ve heard things like be careful of which regional carrier you choose as it may have a negative effect. I am currently in flight school and have heard many different avenues that I can take to get the required hours for an interview. I wanted to get some quick questions answered that pertain to my future outlook of becoming a pilot in the majors.
