I want to start off this thread by saying I am very grateful for the opportunities that have been given to me. I know that in this industry one should just be very thankful to at least have a flying job being as there are many pilots out on furlough.
That being said I have a situation that I am in which is very difficult for me. I am currently a CFI and interviewed with a 135 cargo carrier a couple of months ago and was given a class date this month. I was ecstatic that I was moving up in the world. At the same time I have always dreamed of flying in the 121 world. So I was thankful for the opportunity but at the same time I longed for the chance to fly for the airlines. I took the job because I didn't have any hope of getting on at an airline for a long time.
I was one week away from starting groundschool and out of the blue I get a call from an old friend who has been at Skywest for over 20 years and is now a DE for the CRJ. He calls me up and asks me if I want an interview with Skywest. Being from the west coast I have always dreamed of flying for Skywest but thought it a lofty goal that would require quite a bit more hours.
I pushed the class date back for the 135 job to give me time for the interview for Skywest since that is where I really want to be. Well the cargo job called back and they have a new class date for me in a couple of weeks. My friend from Skywest says that he won't be able to get my resume to Camielle Ence until the end of the month.
So do I take the class date at the cargo job and drop the interview, or do I drop the job and take the interview? I can't push the groundschool back anymore. Logic says take the job but I can't believe that I have an interview with Skywest with such little hours. What an opportunity.
Sorry this was so long but I thought some of you might have been in this same situation and would be willing to lend me some good advice.
