Serious question - what are you doing now? I'd be flying. Have you done 121 before? If not I'd jump on with one of the commuters, especially one offering a quick upgrade(1-2 years).
The guys I've talked with that are MIL/121 qual'd are getting contacted.
Yes, the pay sucks. If it helps you get hired one month early it's worth another $25,000. Two months is worth $50,000, etc, etc. Along with better seniority every month for the rest of your career.
