You havent even flown with more than 3 people aboard an airplane

Don't mean to bust your balls....but....

"just my .02cents"
Weren't you just hired with no 121 experience and low time? The only place to get 121 experience is to fly 121. He might also have a family member or close friend who flies 121. I know quite a few guys who grew up in aviation families do very well in training and IOE. Speaking of, how is your IOE going? You must be having a blast! I hope to see you there sooner or later.

I can't disagree with you about the CFIing. I do side with your about 91/135 experience but that's difficult to get if you don't have 1200hrs....At least at most places. Major kudos again for getting hired at 20. I would have jumped all over it if I had that opportunity at that age.
