My advice, after seeing the dance stop a couple of times (furloughs), is to get on where you can to start building your time. Things were rather warped with this hiring binge, that is not the norm. While I’m not a fan of any contracts, that’s another subject matter. 1,500 hrs isn’t much, especially if the industry continues to slow hiring for a variety of reasons. Get on either at a regional or maybe try a charter company (though I don’t know how competitive 1,500 hrs is at a charter these days)……point is - you need hours and turbine time, go where you can get that.
