To be fair, the OP hasn't mentioned that he is in the frame for a command and did indicate that he was looking to differentiate himself so as his CV was more attractive to a ME or Asean carrier. So the 76 is his best bet. If a command is in the offing, then it is a more difficult choice. Personally, if he works for a bad employer I'd still try to get the job with the good carrier first, then look for the upgrade in that airline. While command time is invaluable, it does tend to make you less mobile as there is invariably a pay/status drop to move, unless DEC is available. But these are rare in decent airlines.
