I think I get what you're saying and appreciate the feedback. I also take Coyote's point. I don't project to be much beyond unrestricted ATP mins and we're talking about the whole second half of my professional life. Would I prefer to waltz into a major on my existing credentials and bank for the next 20 years? Yes, I would. Is it worth it to drop $20k on a Citation X type that would come with a few hundred more hours of flight time and 135 experience for the resume? If that's what's needed, absolutely.

I also appreciate the earlier info about D225. That is right on. I'd love to target SWA exclusively, but the reality is I will have to cast a wider net. My plan is to focus on knocking out the ATP ride, building TPIC, and hopefully an IP upgrade before it's all said and done.
