We have to work to get there. Coming here gets you an ATP without having to add to your already giant student loans. Once you get your ATP, lots of doors open up. You can stick around and get some PIC time in the falcon, get some big jet experience in the 727, or go to the regionals or wherever. It all depends on you long term goals. There are lots of ways to get to your final destination. This is just one option. It's not easy. If that is the sort of thing you are looking for, then you're better off being a CFI until you get enough time to go straight to a regional. This is some of the hardest flying you will do in your career but it's also some of the most rewarding.
This would be an accurate representation of my experience with IFL. Not for everyone, but definitely the most challenging and rewarding flying. Not a bad place to "cut one's teeth", and come out with some good real world experience!!! IMO
