You'll have plenty of time to fly heavies around the word when you get that legacy job.
Volunteer. Get a checkairman/management job.
Focus on that.
Thanks. Would that also be your advice if I were heading to a LCC? Reason I asked is because I also have an interview lined up at one, as well. (I know there's several threads out there on this topic, just figured I'd ask)
