All very well PNZ, but what you (and people like you) havent considered beyond the next paycheck is that an FO wage flying A320's used to be able to support a family and a mortgage. It cant now.
Its certainly not something I've ignored but there has to be a balance between short term and long term. In the long term JQ isn't the best option in the world I know. The problem with long term is no one knows EXACTLY how things will play out.

With that in mind its not a bad thing to take what is the best opportunity for the foreseeable future and then re-evaluate a few years down the track and see at that point what is best suited for you.

other airlines will be at their knees with your zero m/e cm
I can think of at least three airlines who will take on pilots who have good hours without TT Command time. Mostly in the sandpit but thats the choice you have to make.
