Heck I'll just come right out and start the rumor....
!!!ATLAS OFFERS AB-INITIO!!!
Like anything in this world....it gets old after a while. Come on over....Fly the 747 or 767...then watch your seniority elsewhere drop. Then you'll finally start to realize..."hmm, I wish some one with experience would have warned me..."
...that's best case scenario btw. You could come here - have little-to-no experience, maybe bust a type ride (not uncommon), or worse get violated and have it taint your record.
Your call. Take the risk. A bit cavalier and sophomoric in my opinion. I've been there myself decades ago. I understand some people can only learn that way.
