I agree completely. I am one who has very advanced flight time compared to the amount of TT I have. Sure I was hired at a regional with just under 700 TT, but over half of that was multi and almost one third was turbine (mostly jet... I had a really good internship). I had great frustration when I was denied jobs because someone with 1000 hours in a 152 (in the right seat) was somehow more qualified to fly a jet than I was. Call me young and naive, but I don't see how flying another 300hrs in the pattern in a 152 could have possibly made me a more qualified pilot.

Please be nice... This could just be my youth and in-experience talking.
