If you want to be at Atlas for the “long haul”…why would it make a difference to you if you spent 2 years in the 737? You would gain Boeing experience….experience on a bigger airplane than the RJ you’re currently flying…get WAY more PF legs..have better QOL based on the advancement of seniority on the 737 vs the widebody fleets…AND you would be gaining seniority just the same as if you were on a widebody, thus making your long term career bidding/advancement potential the same or better.
You feel you are too good to fly a 737. It’s obvious in your post. You don’t want to start at the bottom(as you see it). We don’t want you here.
This probably has never happened before, but I agree with HPIC here. After "a few months" on an RJ, jumping to a WB and flying 1-2 legs a month is a scary thought.
