Edit to my previous post (too late to edit it now) I just assumed you were new to 121, I may be wrong (sorry, shouldve asked) If you have prior 121, TSA right now is a good option (see FlyingKat's post). If you don't have any 121 time, you're looking at a minimum 2 year upgrade there before you get that required time. Will TSA be around in 2 years, or will you be flushing 2 years of seniority/longevity down the drain? Who knows
