I have less than 2 years ADSC and really want to fly for a legacy carrier (DAL or UAL preferably). In 2 years, depending on how the airlines view my time and/or if they use a military conversion, I could be anywhere between 1700-1900TT, with at least 1000 tiltrotor (which I hear/hope most legacys are counting as FW), and at least 800 PIC. I'll have MCI and ATP practical done (written complete May 2014). TT includes SE prop FW, SE Helo, ME Helo, ME jet, and ME tiltrotor--all turbine except SE prop obviously.

Question: will my estimated TT be competitive for entry into a legacy like DAL or UAL? When 2016 rolls around, I have the option to stay active for another 2 years without adding ADSC. Is it better to continue to build my military time as long as I can to be more competitive (over 2000TT) or leave the boat as soon as possible to get on board with a legacy and build seniority? I will be 35 in 2 years.

I know this was a long post; thanks in advance for any help!
