Not sure I follow that? My point was: if he wants to move to a legacy type carrier then he shouldn't change airlines to one at which he will not log PIC for many years. He'd likely be better off just moving or sticking it out at his current airline 'til he's got the requisite 1000+ turbine PIC. Then he could change for domicile reasons if he really wants to that badly.

If I'd stayed at my first airline I'd have been left seat much sooner and probably not still shy of the requirements of many carriers, some 18 years after I started in this industry and "made it" only to start over (repeatedly) after 9/11.

Take a longer view is all I'm saying. Meeting short term wants can be detrimental to your career.
