Yep, exactly. The more the PIC time, the more chances you've had to go out there and make decisions, evaluate situations, and learn from mistakes. That experience is endlessly more valuable than sitting next to the person doing it, no matter what airplane you're in.

Plus, if you have 1500TT of GA time, it means you've probably been employed in the general aviation world. Which means you've probably been put in some tough situations and gained a lot of above mentioned experience in a trial-by-fire method.

Someone who has 1500TT, most of which is jet-PIC, screams to me that they bought their job and they're a seat filler without any real ability to add to the flight other than doing rote mundane tasks.

Of course, there are exceptions to both examples....
