There is an enormous amount of talent in those ranks who have been flying metal safely all over the planet, while juggling many other jobs within their flight dept. The most qualified would be at the top of my list...be it 121, GA or military. No background bias.
Trying or not, that is what you're doing. I am a believer in what you're selling, there are great traits in pilots from all backgrounds but trying to justify how difficult your job is as a reason to be picked first over other avenues won't win you any friends or arguments. You knew before you took your corporate gig what the deal was with major hiring -- they like military time and they like piles of civilian 121 PIC. I'm sure you had great reasons and did the best you could, but complaining about a process you knew going in and are now trying to buck just sounds like sour grapes.
