IMHO, VERY wise move. I'd still apply wherever you're qualified, but still shoot for that 1000PIC in the meantime. Should any given airline take a dive, that time will serve you well in other avenues of aviation and aid in meeting insurance requirements if you're forced to fly corporate for a while after being furloughed (like I was). I suppose my point is, it could help you score more $$$ when you'd really need it if you're forced to get a job where salary is commensurate with experience (i.e. not 121).
