Your career progression!

Initial certificates --> CFI --> Freight company (or not, according to @mikecweb and @Stone Cold :) ) --> Regional in 2007 --> Furloughed in 2008 --> Grad school in 2009 --> Back to the regional in early 2011 --> Finish grad school --> Still at the original regional six years later, still in the right seat.

When I was hired they were talking about how we'd all upgrade after 18 months. Too bad I got furloughed after 14.

Your grad school will help you more than you think. What did you get it in?
 
Certificates > 135 scenics > Regional FO > Furlough > 135 > Recall to regional > 121 heavy/international > 135 > 121 left seat. 6 years total.
 
9 credits shy of a 4 year degree in 1994 (got very frustrated with "Harvard", a story told over beers), flew little, bartended and partied > Joined the Navy and worked on computers for 9 years > Finished degree while on shore duty > Intructed/flew meat missiles > Aerial survey > Freight > 135 charter > Lead pilot Lear 60 corporate (Kiev) > Captain G-450 Moscow Corporate.

And, yes, @jtrain, training captain does not count if you never flew the line...just saying.:D:cool:
 
Certificates>instructing>135 pax>135 Air Ambulance>135 cargo>instructing/pt91 corp>121 regional. So far the regional is the easiest.
