2024 is very far :-o
I don't want to be the "little miss know it all" but... its 6 years... you cant spend 6 years staying in a job wishing having an other one because it can poision those years... just waiting for the future. But planning is a good thing also and you are right for planning and start everything in time.
Okay I am narrow minded, as a former soldier., because I loved the army.. and I think after this aircraft an airliner is a little step-back.
....taking people on holiday with an airliner is... I dont know... on one hand its a beautiful thing, big responsibility, many passengers, on the other hand is so.... its not a C-130 or how to say
Have you thinking about cargo? Some pilots say they enjoy it much more than a plane loaded with passengers.
On the other hand I understand people who say after many years that serving their country was enough, need "normal" and civilian life (as I did the same). And still want to stay in aviation.
Its a difficult question anyway.
Wish you find your way but enjoy present as well

Does anyone have any helpful resources that will aid me in comparing airlines and making sure I check all the boxes to make myself most marketable? I really don't know if I want majors or regionals at this point, but I want to do more research and the posts on these forums have a ton of acronyms I don't know yet. Thanks for your help!
