To me that decision is 100% about your resume. Does a 767 Type with PIC get you to a Legacy, Southwest, UPS, or FedEx? If the answer is yes then you do it immediately. I know one guy who never even consolidated on the 767 before he started at Delta. Or maybe if your goal is UPS and you've already got the 767 type then being a 747-8F Captain gets you to UPS. It all depends on the individual.
