Back in the early 90's I left the USA and went to Greece with around 2400TT
Every job I applied to in Greece (at the time the private airline scene was starting with the deregulation laws applied by the EU) was seen with mistrust due to my TT. I was 28 yo at the time and I always ran into retired Greek Airforce Colonels and Majors and Brig Generals who had accumulated 5-6000 hours flying fighters after 25 years in service. As a matter of fact, I was accused by one retired colonel that I was parkering in my flight hours. couldn't have a leg to stand on when I used to whip out my ATP written results and show it to them, resulting in my not being considered further since nobody wanted a smart alec. lol
