It was a long time ago. A common strategy at the time was to take a position at a start-up airline that flew larger jets. The philosophy was that upgrade in a Boeing would be more attractive to a legacy than as a Brazilia Captain. In addition, there were complications in transitioning from a regional to the parent legacy. Switching to a completely different company eliminated this contingency creating a clear path to the legacy.

It almost worked. 9-11 changed the game.
