Peanut butter jelly time, peanut butter jelly time!
Hey OP don't expect something reasonable on this forum. Goto Mesa, PSA or Compass, don't miss the boat or you'll be one of us grump pilots that's been on the right seat for over 6 years. Or better yet, become the 15 year regional captains that upgraded in 1.5 year when they were hired and think they deserve to be treated like mainline captains. But what's most amazing is these brand new pilots to the 121 industry that are grumpier than those of us that actually went through hardship, furlough and years of reserve abuse. Glad you've got a level head on your shoulders. We'll see how long that lasts.

I've already committed this far and I can't help but feel like I should at a bare minimum give the airlines a shot. I realize that there are more lucrative career options but the freedom to travel is what attracts me the most. My family is very spread out all around the country so hopping a jump seat to wherever they are seems awesome. I'm slowly developing a fallback career.
You already have your ratings and mil flying experience. There isn't much more you can do other than prep for actual interviews. Besides you got one shot at life, why just do one thing. I've always believed we should experience and do many things. Doing one thing, even if you love it is so linear.
