Not true you will be labeled a scumbag by most of the others you are flying with. I know guys who worked for CAT and the PFT guys were not embraced like a guy who is there with experience but needed a job. It brings down the payscales as long as guys keep doing it. I feel with your time you are better off getting on with a regional as they seem to be more stable these days anyways. Just my $.02
