You have a lot of demands for not even have completed an ATP written. Most of the time, your career path is chosen by fate, luck, and who you meet.

If you don't want to go to a Regional, then I strongly advise that you invest in your ATP/CTP. Having your ATP is vital to your aviation future unless you do not want to live the Part 91 bizjet market, although many Part 91 corporate are already asking for ATP on larger jets and more will in the future.

After reading all the threads I could find I applied for XOJET FO. However, I got an email from XO that has zero content. Hopefully it's not an auto TBNT but probably just an app received email. It would be a paycut but with upgrades not too lengthy I can manage. My current times are 5k TTL 2k CRJ PIC.

Selling my soul to a regional isn't worth the free ATP either. I'd rather pay out of pocket if it becomes necessary. For now I like what I'm doing, just would like to jump into the fractionals if it's an option.

Get your ATP. You are going to need it. I was lucky enough to find a 135 willing to foot the bill for a 1 year contract. Also did my first type rating with that company. I’ve been here almost 2 years now. Things are starting to look like the airplane might go away. Having that ATP opened doors to NJA, XO and Flex. It’s an investment for your future.
