Had I done so I wouldn’t even be here asking. Now I’m at that crossing again and my thought is that I could make the mistake I did a few years back or fast forward two years from now and not have to still be wondering “what if?”.
Good input from everyone. It’s a tricky thing to navigate. Many of us were coming out with new wings and a license to learn at the tail end of the crash and the paths to a major weren’t as clear cut as they are now for a freshly minted CFI.

Start your grad degree, position yourself as best you can with flight time/management positions, bravo for putting QOL and family first. Plan for your future inside aviation and out. Delta will ramp up hiring again as all the majors will as well (given no Black Swan events). My experience with newhires, everyone has an opportunity. Best of luck.
