Who would Jesus hire? You know he'd hire the guy with pic time.
I was starting to become one of those senior FOs that you hear get on with the majors but once I upgraded I learned and experienced so much more than all that time flying right seat. Yes I had events on the right seat but unless you're the PIC you really weren't making the decision to solve a problem. Do you really want your applicant making his first PIC decision on your 737 or Airbus? That's what recruiters think about.
