That said, whether you quit your job is up to you. Financially it would be worth it in the long run if you do DEC now vs. waiting years for upgrade... and I'm not talking about regional airline finances, I'm talking major airline pay down the road. I don't think one year makes a difference to recruiters, but five years might. It sure did for my generation... most of them are too old, too stale, no recent type ratings, going nowhere fast at M.074
