Is the Atlas 737 a good place for your first jet job or should I go to one of the regionals first?
If you’re goal is to build time/experience to go on to something else, Atlas is not the place for you. You will gain much more time/experience flying at a regional than you will flying the 737 at Atlas.
If Atlas is where you want to end up for the rest of your career…getting in as soon as possible is the best course of action. Seniority is king.
Unless you fall into an extremely narrow demographic, you’re better off going to a regional, getting time quickly, and moving on to a Legacy/FedEx/UPS/LCC that best suits your needs based on where you live and what you want to do long term in your career.
