Why would u do that and give up your flowthru? All the major regionals all have flowthru sooner rather than later.
I can't speak to his case directly, but the majors hate the idea of a flow through. They would much rather steal from a competitors regional than deplete the stock of their own contracted regionals. Furthermore, some of the flow through agreements stipulate only to interviewing - not hiring - their regional conscripts. It's NOT a guaranteed position at a major at all.
Atlas is a great option for regional pilots looking to move up and bolster their resumes. Until we see a fair salary, work rule improvements, and a decent retirement package, the "flow through" will be more active at Atlas than at many of the regionals.
