How a HR guy knows what quality of flying with out looking at the logbook,?? well, by looking at the A/c U have flown, most amount of one has time in an A/c & last A/c flown...

Now that may not paint an exact or true picture in all cases, it does give a very good idea of what a person has been doing.....

One question which comes to mind is .... Mine or a recruiter, How did this guy keep going to 1800 hrs without thinking what he needs in his resume/profile, what he will need for his Future & career, That he needs to get multi time.
So, what that tells me abt this 1800 hr guy, is that either he lacks vision or direction or he is not focussed on his career or this guy is too comfortable where he is or way too lazy to make things happen or just expects things to be handed to him on a platter....

That may not be the exactly the case, coz his personal situation may have prevented him from moving or doing anything and if that is the case then it is different.

But Still, 1800 hrs takes at least 2-3 yrs to get and too on a fast pace, and Only 38 hrs multi in 1800 hrs... and if those 1800 hrs are towing banners, gliders, then U tell me what is that experience worth, especially from an airline recruiters point of view........

I can guarantee U, with 1800 hrs, this guy doesn't have an ATP because he thinks he doesn't need ATP for his kind of operation, or even ATP written cleared...... one of the least expensive thing on the resume.......

Then obvisiously, a GUY who has CFI CFII & MEI with 500 hrs TT & 50-100 hrs on a multi, flying in & out of classs B & C everyday with his students & teaching & authorising solo for his students in Class C & B; One who has the Instrument Pilots manual memorised by teaching it everday, who flyies NIGHT & actual IMC every other day teaching his students, that guy has more relevant experience & looks more attractive.
