No need to apologize, what you say is very true. In my previous post I talk about a real case of a former Kingair 350 check Captain that ended up paying a sick amount of money just to be given the chance of a RHS in a 320. Obviously paying was not of his liking. Putting aside ethics (should/should have not gone that way), the airline didn't value any of his former experience, mainly because there is a very long line of PTF kids waiting at the door.
I don't want to drift the thread away from the OP question: what is better career wise? I gave him a real life example of a case exactly like his. He needs to be informed before deciding.
Hats off for wanting to learn to fly properly early in his career though!
