I'm with bedrock. 24 months is an eternity in the airlines, and especially in the regional sector. When you get to 1000-1200 hours, you should be nailing down where to go next. For now, keep a high-level view of what is happening, and certainly be aware of it, but don't be setting specific sights on specific targets until you are closer to being able to apply.

To give you an example: I was at Comair in 2010. We had some folks on furlough. We began to recall, and even hear rumblings of hiring and more planes. 24 months later, the company was shuttered. I got lucky, and made it to a major. Others....not so much.

Focus on the tasks at hand: building your network, getting your ratings, building your network, keeping your nose clean, building your network, enhancing your resume....and building your network.

And don't spend money on training that you don't need to spend, especially if you are financing.
