You might get lucky.
But I can't tell you how many people I know got burned by taking that approach, including me. Long story, but a two week delay for family considerations cost me literally years of CA pay and TPIC. I could afford it, because I had other things going on but I still would have liked to have arrived at the career destination a few years sooner than I did.
Thank your for your info! I have been thinking the same thing, more flight time could get me more desirable when hiring begins. The question is how are the current hiring predictions looking, some have theories that the majors will be hiring eventually soon with the retirements, and early outs they offered.
That is tough to hear, if it isn't sensitive do you mind sharing?
