DME, raising the bar and stopping pay to play programs sounds like a great idea. whats your plan to fix this little problem?

i think the companies themselves dont care about experience. example: im a reservist who applied to XJT with 1000TT, mostly heavy international time. (their mins were 600TT at the time) and they would not give me an interview. i think this was the case because they knew id be one of the first guys to jump ship when i got a better opportunity, or they got ****ed at guys taking mil leave who knows.

i believe that regionals would much rather hire a CFI who doesnt know any better, and mold them into exactly what they want... someone who is grateful for being there. they turn down people with my experience because they know my expectations are different.

i may be completely off here, but its just another perspective i guess
