I would recommend moving to a regional with a flow option to a major and fast upgrades - Commutair and Piedmont come to mind. Flying an ERJ or Dash 8 won't be as sexy as the Lear 60XR but you will upgrade fast and have at least a potential path to a legacy like AA or UAL. And pay ain't as bad for regional newhires these days... Focus on the benefits of 121 time and gaining hours much faster. If I were you I would seriously consider it if you want a good airline job.
