Assuming I get an F9 job offer, and assuming the training date would be sometime in July or August (from what I’ve seen on the forums) I could:

1. Disregard OO altogether and sit unemployed for 2-4 months waiting to start with F9.
2. Start training with OO and then give my 2 weeks’ notice when the first F9 training date comes up (I assume this would then show up on a PRIA report as did-not-complete-training)
3. Delay my F9 training date until I’m done with IOE at OO, and then give my notice.
4. Disregard F9 altogether and plug away at OO until I get called up to the big leagues.

It sounds like I’m going to be sitting on reserve a lot longer at F9 than at any regional. Also, slightly quicker upgrades at the regionals. That leads me to lean towards option 4. On the other hand, I’d hate to pass up F9 and then a month later learn that they pass a contract like Spirit did. What would ya’ll do if you were in my shoes?
