Big difference between an ILS at 90 knots under the hood and doing them in IMC down to minimums (what seems like every day in ACK) at 130 knots. Not sure how it looks on a resume for moving on. I'm not that far yet. Overall I'm glad I did it that way. I still instructed on the side on my days off and made up the time difference that way so it didnt take as long. Either way in the beginning you have to put in the work and grind to get to that first airline job as soon as you can.
