Just curious for some input. Accruing TPIC time but unhappy at my regional. Would be competitive for LCC's, but the end game is a legacy. None of us know for certain if we made the right moves until retirement (and not even always then), but conditions being as they are do you think somebody would be better off sucking it up and getting at least 1000 TPIC or moving on with 100-200 hours of it and getting a 737/A320 type rating?

1000 hrs TPIC. It used to be a requirement. Hard to believe they've reduced it's value to zero. Start interviewing for the next opportunity when you've got 800-900 hrs TPIC.
If you're at a flow company I'd ride it out.
If you decide to leave move to an airline that would also be a career choice OR do some different, like w/b international long haul.

A while back someone had posted a timeline for guys that are transitioning out of the military. I want to say it started at either 24 months from getting out or from 18 months from getting out. It was basically a checklist of things guys need to be doing or thinking of doing at certain intervals prior to their ETS or retirement date.
Does anyone have the link to his post or could potentially copy and paste it again? I searched and cannot for the life of me remember where I saw it.
Thanks!

I'd disagree. After X thousand hrs in the same airplane, same seat, and the same type of flying, the learning curve flattens out. If there's significant opportunities ahead, CP, CKA, union leadership, I'd stay. Otherwise, IMO, they can push their learning curve and consider long haul international wide body flying.
There are things learned in all forms of aviation. Doing the same thing, again and again, when there are other challenges available, is something the majors are concerned about. Lack of exposure to challenges, or training, is a prognosticator of future training problems.
This isn't a call for irrational, or hard to justify, job hoping. Laterally moves, that don't make sense, will invite additional scrutiny.
