I agree. They say they want people on the widebodies with heavy, international time and I understand that. However, when I got hired, all of us didn't have heavy, international time and we went to the panel and then upgraded to FO. Some people went to the MD11 and it didn't matter what experience you had, if you could hold the bid, you got it.
