1. Get him into a big(er) airplane,
2. Get him the experience needed to move to a major airline job,
3. If no. 2 above never works out, it's likely a better gig than his previous one!!
Yea, I don't think I disagree with that so much, but these other places are taking new-hires from regionals, corporate and military with no PIC and no 121, and it's not a one-off thing either.
No doubt Atlas can be an awesome experience builder for someone, but with the current CBA and financial considerations of other places, it's a harder long term sell, that's all.
