Agree about career progression, but not totally on 2nd half.
I applied to be a LCA at my regional and then withdrew. I decided I didn't really want to do it, but was only doing it to pad the resume. Therefore I wouldn't enjoy it, and certainly would not be the best option for the students. I was fully prepared to justify this answer in an interview, but it never came up.
FWIW I was hired at NK with over 10,000 TT strictly line flying.
Must have really nailed the "Why Spirit" I guess, hahaha.
