FWIW...a recent interview class had- 2 guys with heavy intl time, no sponsors, not offered the job and 3 guys with either "just" RJ or pointy nose time, but with 3 letters of rec and sponsors were offered the job...class before that one had 2 pointy nose guys with sponsors and offered the job, the 4 heavy intl guys with MD-11 type ratings and no sponsors, not offered the job...jump to your own conclusions.
