Probably a valid point. The sad truth is this; In the US pilot job market, with the high supply and low demand (at the majors) right seat time in ANY kind of aircraft ALONE will not get you the call without a connection of some kind. Yeah, I know, a hundred years ago it happened, but not now. If there ever actaually is a pilot shortage in the US, it may come back to that.
Even the RJ FO's hired at CAL had an in. I have yet to hear a CAL FO tell me, or hear a story of a CAL FO that just filled out the app and got the cold call from HR to come interview for a job with NO TURBINE PIC TIME. I suspect the same is true for DAL, and for UAL when they start hiring.
As far as UPS and FedEx go, we don't even need to cover that one.
