With the hiring market as it is right now, and the regionals starting to be more of a manageable experience I think it's the best route right now. Get into the regionals and do my time before I am settled down in any one places with kids or anything like that.
Yeah I certainly have the same thought process. 121/regional route is certainly the safest route to the majors. Yeah the 135 TPIC sounds great, it's not long term, but you're on your own getting to the majors after two-three years. It's just harder to get there with only 135 time if you try to go to the big 3. However in that same amount of time you can do the regionals to major in that same amount of time.
Yeah the money is great but long term it seems like it prolongs even more earning potential.
