If you're much older and have important commitments at home (family, etc) then it may not work for you as you may never reach a lofty position on the MSL or see the benefits of roster bidding seniority.
It's entirely personal and is a huge decision to make, but only you can make it. If you do join, join with your eyes wide open that you will be junior for an exceptionally long time in any seat other than the RHS A320. Good luck!
Thanks! Given the current MSL, how would you define "young"? Say you join in your late 20s early 30s, would you still need to wait 20+ years to see some of the benefits?
