So out of curiosity, what do you all think would be the smart/best next step for a 23 year old Regional FO with 2,500 hours, 1,000 of which are 121 SIC (the rest were PIC as CFI) with a 4 year degree, no background issues, able to live anywhere (can move to whatever base). Only downside is straight white male, so no diversity boxes checked.
