hmmmmm, have you thought about the possibility of not getting on at that great major as soon as you hit 1000 TPIC? What happens if hiring slows waaaaay down, which historically suggests it will, and that "stick it out for 2 years and bail into your glorious dream job" idea turns into "stuck in hell indefinatly"? Yes, all regionals are "stuck in hell" but a home based, better contract and QoF hell seems better than mesa. When planning for the future you should hope and and dream for the best but expect the worst (especially in this industry)
