Here's the situation. I am deciding which route to take. Corporate vs .Majors. currently I am at XJT, probably FO for life there.

Age Late 20's
2100TT
1000turbine
0TPIC
Numerous volunteer activities

I know the one corporate job I wanted is coming up in a year from now. It is a heavy jet pay structure. With opportunity to advance into department manager eventually. 150-200 hours a year 11-14 flying days a month. Based in my home and I could bike to work to stay fit/enjoyment. It is not a large department, but I wouldnt imagine them going away anytime soon.

I am highly connected in Airline A. I really dont think they will last till I'm 65 though. I have done a lot of research and I want to go to Airline B. Even if it takes me a bit longer. Based on my contact at Airline A, he said I probably wont expect a call for another 1-2 years. So I'm guessing Airline B will be 6 years with little connections.

So the question is which one do I take? ROI will be higher at either airline, assuming no shutdown. But there is always that risk.

Also, should I leave XJT to build TPIC at Ameriflight to build my resume?
