I'm also a late '16 hire and may consider something like this. My biggest holdup is that I'm still building about 70 hours 121 PIC per month, and I'm just shy of 1000 total 121 PIC. I worry that in a couple years when majors/FedEx/UPS start looking at resumes again, the stop of 121 flying may throw them off. They want lifers who won't bail when times are hard and may see it in a negative light. Anywho, I'll PM you if you don't mind giving me some more specific info. You may have been in my indoc class, lol.
