Speaking as an xjt guy, I think you are taking a BIG risk if you don't take the first offer you get ANYWHERE. I think they may very well move the goalposts on you by gradually increasing the required hours and you may never get called out of the pool.

They're already worried about getting all the current new hire FOs up to 1500 hours before the cutoff date, if there are more experienced Pinnacle and Eagle guys on the street soon, they may very take them before a no-part-121 guy. Additionally, it seems hiring may taper off somewhat unless we get more flying from somewhere, staffing has improved and they're mostly hiring to replace guys that leave.

That's my 2 cents
