Nowadays there is little to no regard to each one's experience. In my present airline we have Captains from reputable flag carriers around the world who are paying tens of thousand of dollars to fly the airbus on the left seat. Don't ask me why they do that, my point is that you'll be seen as a cadet, you'll be treated as a zero hour pilot and you will be expected to pay the same amount everyone else is paying. Your past experience will play on your favour during line training but it will not tick any box for recruitment.
I'm not saying it's fair, I am just giving a heads up as I have witnessed several examples of valid pilots who have been sitting for years, waiting for a fair chance, only to end up having to go through the same path as the rest of cadets. The only difference is they have wasted a couple of years for nothing.
