Anyway, I'm ready to move on, but as you said, we can't hope for a quick upgrade anywhere. A jet job would be great, but getting the chance to do some handflying for a while would be a good time too I suspect.
Man that's a lot of flying. Instructing is a little slow, so I'm still shooting for that 600/100. Hopefully not much longer. It seems there are two types of instructors, those that do it for years and those who do it for a few months. I'm in that latter category and no offense to any new pilots (we were all students once) but I just don't think I could instruct long term. Anyway, good luck in the interview Monday!
