The QOL issues asside, my main concern about taking the corporate gig is that I wouldn't be able to get back into the 121 world without once again starting out at a regional. Everyone seems to think that PIC is numero uno, but how often does a corporate capt go to a legacy? It seems I see more Regional FO's getting hired at Delta than anyone else these days.
Regards

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say the former 121 FO/current C90 PIC is more mainline qualified, but the current 121 FO is more airline marketable due to recency of 121 experience and flight time in the last 12/6 months.

People here still think it matters how much TT or TPIC time you have to get on with a major? That's pretty funny. With that time you should focus on keeping 'recency of experience' (60 multi hours in 6 months) and focus on making contacts.
Contacts will get you further in your career than TPIC ever will.

Do I:
1.) Take the furlough and await recall at said regional.
2.) Accept a class date with AE (conditional offer already) and surrender previous seniority.
3.) Accept a job offer flying Challengers (65K starting, 1-2 yr upgrade, 30% international overseas trips, up to 30 days on at a time).
