If you say so.
In the past few years, UPS has hired a ridiculous number of Atlas pilots. (The story goes that at one point, the UPS chief pilot called the Atlas chief pilot to advise him that there were something like 60 Atlas pilots in the UPS pool at that time.) In my two years at ABX, where we have bunch of those 767s with the old instruments, pilots have been hired at UPS, FedEx, United, American, Alaska, Virgin America, and Southwest. And those are just the ones I know about. Apparently, those companies really don't care. So if you're interested in flying for one of those, it looks like your career prospects won't be damaged by a stint flying old airplanes.
