Are you asking us to pick one?

I consider option one and three the same thing.

This isn't a choice someone can make for you. If you want to be an airline pilot- go to the regionals. If you want to be a cargo pilot- go to Amflight, if you want to do corporate, ect. It's up to you!

Bird in the hand.

So long as it won't get you violated or hurt or killed, take the job offer you have, not the one you don't.

That's the conventional wisdom, but right now you can safely assume you'll get a regional job if you meet ATP mins particularly if you're open to bottom-feeders.

A jet regional will probably offer flight experience that's more in line with what most majors are looking for right now.

Yep I have started many of these threads but cant make a choice as to how to get where. My thoughts are to use a regional for a jet job as you get turbined jet time and its in planes similar to those that would be used in a corp job ( the idea being of size and fms etc performance etc ) which seems logical. night cargo seems good because its real hands on flying and i like that aspect but dont want to get caught in a bunch of multi piston time compared with others who have multi turbine time/fms/etc ..
