There seems to be al lot of speak of 'command' and 'time to command' etc in the previous 12 pages, however;

What is the point of a jet command, if it is on an F/O salary!??

The only thing ensured, by using the JQ cadet ship to get ahead and kick start your aviation career for the first 6 years, is that your aviation career will never reach the level that it could have, had you not taken that cadet ship.

Personally I don't blame people for taking it, certainly if they have 0 flying; to each his own etc. But people should realise that they can't take a $65k first job straight up, and still expect the industry to pay them $300-$400k later in their career. It's the thin end of a very long wedge.

However, far be it from me to try and tell you your best options for your stage of life and training etc, so all the best to you. I hope it works out.
