Ultimately, whichever is going to provide you with 1000 TPIC, so in an industry where seniority is everything a 1 or 2 year difference between start dates means missing out on a substantial chunk of change...

If you were in our shoes today (single, no kids, willing to relocate) which route would you personally take?

All feedback is helpful! Thanks in advance
In reality, depends on what you would like to do over the next 5 to maybe 15 years. I’d suggest enjoying the ride along the way. You could be on the bus for a few years before it stops at FedEx. General rules, build a lot of TPIC quickly. Set yourself apart from others. And don’t stagnate in one spot. If I was you, I’d knock out 1,000 TPIC in a feeder that flys type rated twin turboprops, maybe become a LCA or instructor pilot. Get your ATP and 121 time from a regional that has a quick upgrade. Repeat the LCA deal there. Try for assistant chief or base chief.
