OP is this how AC works or do you start on NBs?
And I don’t think any hiring departments will have any issues with that either way.
You can actually bid NB FO too. I had to bid WB for commutability. WB RP was the only WB spot available. But you can effectively bid whatever you want based on slots. If it wasn't for the career perspective and the option to go south I would agree 100%. Especially if you have previous experience and don't need the hours. Easiest life there is - especially for as long as they keep the current salary. Might be a different story if the change the payscales.
