Well keep this in mind: most places have minimum time requirements to upgrade (in addition to basic ATP mins). Pinnacle for example (who is known to hire VERY low time pilots) requires 3000TT to upgrade. That means if you get hired with 500TT it will be 2.5 years MINIMUM before you can upgrade even if upgrades are running at 6 mos. So I ask again, what is your big damn hurry? The journey, not the destination, is the worthier part.
