Another question: would you take the SE gig if offered nothing else? I'm not sure if I'll get an offer on either of these gigs, but I wonder if I should just wait out a ME gig vs the SE and at least getting my foot in the FW world....decisions descisons I guess lol.
You learn exponentially quicker when you're signing for the plane.
I'd personally take the SE PIC gig for a year, build up your total turbine time, and turbine PIC time and some experience and then see what doors open for you. I enjoy being the PIC a lot more than being a co-pilot, I'd be leery of sucking up an SIC gig with low pay for a couple years to prove to the CP you're loyal enough for an upgrade in x more years. If they want to keep you, they'll pay you well, treat you well, and encourage you to grow professionally.
