The Dash is a blast to fly but it will be the sacrificial lamb to get more jets. Remember 9E is only giving you an interview to big D...then you have tto be a CA for 2 years at 9E. That timeframe and your no interview flow will be similar. Plus you can still apply to big D before your flow date.

Although I am working on my 4 year I am not sure how easy it will be anymore while flying at a regional. What is the chance of them ending that flow or changing the parameters ?
