In the particular example I recall it was jetBlue, where the guy said if he had two exactly equal candidates but with one time in jet and other in TP, he would take jet everytime. Which has taken our captains into their ranks, and many other TP drivers. But I am sure there is more then one recruiter at jetBlue.

Flying a TP is great fun and you actually get to fly. But I am starting to hear more and more that given two equal candidates, the jet guy has bigger chances.
