Of course the whole place may be a canal here shortly if it doesn't stop raining.

As if the place wasn't marginal enough...
I sent Autothrust Blue a link to the R2508 Complex User's Handbook (the very very public one, available here) so he can be "that guy" at his airline. Who knows if he'll actually read it though.
Ah, my "that guy" budget has a little more free time (long story), so I'll probably focus some of it on that.

Well, I guess my answer to the above question wasn't what they wanted to hear. LOL

Odd. Only a few years ago they would pay for it if they wanted you to go.
How "non current" are you? I mean just flying in general.

Can you find someone locally you can take along with or perhaps get checked out at your local FBO? CFI renewal?

I did a BFR, going to do an IPC in the next couple days. I didn't forget how to fly.

American Eagle can pound sand, I told the guy that an RJ course or 10 hours in a Cherokee doesn't prove anything. If they are hung up on arbitrary numbers or RJ courses, I will move on down the road. I'm not mad about it.

To a certain extent, ALL recruiting is arbitrary, since there's not a way to quantitatively assess many other predictors of "will you be the right fit for this operation?"

That's just, like, your opinion, man
They might be hung up on the bolded section.

I don't care. I'm not taking an RJ course or buying time before they even commit to an interview.

Here is reality. I don't even really want to go to a regional, but its there. Now I have interview offers from pretty much everyone except AE and XJT right now. So I'm not jumping through hoops when these places are supposedly unable to fill classes.

Frankly it doesn't sound like you want a job period. You may think you are better than the regionals. That may or may not be the case but for someone who doesn't have the most basic currencies you may want to adjust your attitude a bit. There's a place to be a billy badass, talking to someone offering you a job isn't one of them. I'd really hate for that guy you told off at Eagle to wind up at your #1 someday and your name sticks out.
Small industry. Those in a position to hire guys are members of an even smaller club.
YMMV.

Right now you're lacking in buying power, but you act as if you have it. You really need to get current in some way, shape, or form. If you refuse to do it (and outright tell them that), your job search will continue fruitlessly. Best of luck.

Telling a recruiter I'm not interested in doing an RJ course as a condition of hire, and assuring them I would not come unprepared = Billy badass and telling them off? What world do you live in?

What is the magic number then? I am 100% current and legal. So 10 more hours in a Cherokee? Drop five large at ATP?
