You need to weigh that against the cost in upgrade time. In your estimation, you have to decide if a quicker upgrade time will be more beneficial to your career. ie- do you think getting to regional captain sooner will have a bigger impact on your hire date (and thus your seniority) over at a mainline carrier.
