If the above is true, then Atlas/Polar/Southern will shrink in size, as their pilot manning goes negative. If it gets bad enough, Captains will be displaced back to the right seat.

If you're thinking you'll be in and out in less than five years, I'd go for the best quality of life and fastest pathway to the left seat. I'd be financially and psychologically prepared for that five-year plan to mushroom out to ten+ years if there's a recession, major industry shake-up, etc.
EXCELLENT advice!!!
