You have to decide what you want. Airline, cargo, corporate, whatever. Then work towards that goal. Don't pass up an opportunity to move up to something bigger and better. Money will come later. I could have been a CAL captain by now, but I refused to go to Continental Express (crappy airline back then) and PFT back in the early 90's. Those guys who did are CAL captains now. Who would have known? Seniority is EVERYTHING in airlines. Get there now. Regional or major. That's assuming you want the airlines. Training can be tough on the inexperienced. I know a guy with the basic certificates, no CFI ratings, 1500TT and some right seat C-402 time he purchased with a 135 operator. He got hired by two airlines: one B-1900 and one CRJ. He failed both training in the middle of the sims. Is he a bad pilot? No, he has no experience or background to make it through 121 training. Get into a twin as a CFI, then a twin as a corporate or cargo carrier, then a regional, then a major. Work your way up and do it fast because seniority is EVERYTHING. A few months could mean a huge difference in seniority. I did 1500TT as a CFI and 1000 as traffic watch pilot. Then I flew different turbo props corporate, then I went to a regional and flew turbo props and then RJ's. Then I went to a major and flew 737's and now the 757/767. That's a long road (but was fun). Today CFI's are going into RJ's. Good for them. You try it. You'll save a few years of climbing the ladder and get that seniority now. Good luck to you all.
