I essentially agree with this, however, in my situation, I'm likely going to fly to age 65 with whoever I get hired by. By the time I would be able to "flow", I wouldn't have enough time left to make it worth doing. (if I ever reached that point which is somewhat doubtful). So what I'm looking at is flying as an FO for a couple years or so, moving up to captain and then riding there until I hit 65. Once I have to retire from 121, with the jet PIC time, I hopefully would be able to get some kind of corporate gig, even if part time, to continue to generate some revenue.
