In the end it seems that there is such angst over where I should apply or go in the future. In my opinion everyone that has minimums for ANY employers currently hiring should be courting every airline with full applications and unending updates.
Stop the endless back and forth about where I should go and substitute in the airlines that have actually offered you a job.
If only one airline floats you an offer, take it. If two airlines make you an offer, now you have the choice that you will be so happy to discuss like it happens so often. In the end, I think most of us are restrained by "who" offers us the job.
