Wait on ULCC or take 1900 Job

Everyone’s favorite type of post. Been sitting on a CJO with a ULCC. March 19 class date.

Just today got offered a job for a 1900D op in Kansas. No training contract, decent pay PIC position. Start in January. The catch? If I take this opportunity, I lose my ULCC CJO. Why? Because it’s through a cadet program.

Pros to 1900 job:

No contract TPIC multi which is pretty good Quick start

Cons:

Location and schedule kind of suck. I got away from kansas and not thrilled to go back but I am willing to chase opportunity.

Obvious con of losing my 121 CJO.

Why is this even a convo? Because the company I’m trying to get to just scrapped their February class and I suspect my March date isn’t going to remain intact but that’s the job I really want. Ultimate goal is to proceed on to WN/AA/UA/DL when I am fortunate enough to do so.

I’m pretty giddy for an opportunity to fly a turboprop. The complicating factor is that I would lose my CJO. Expecting an update on that situation next week. Curious what the schools of thought are among those much more experienced than myself.
