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.
Very advanced flight time huh...........I've never heard that one before. You must be an amazing pilot.
I don't know if all that multi time was spent as an MEI or right seat running the radios and checklists. If it was the latter I would take the C-152 CFI 1st. You see the CFI actually makes
real go no go decisions. Who's gonna solo how's the wx etc. etc. Perhaps that is what the interviewers were looking for, then again they might have just been jealous..
Just my .02 I'm being nice
