And while I'm sure that 2000 hours of flying CAP missions over Durka-Durkistan directly relates to skills and abilities in the 121 world, I'm equally certain that 5000, 7500 or 10,000 hours of flying an Airbus or Boieng incident free into LGA or ORD would also translate well into a well-rounded candidate.

And that's perfectly fine. Again. It is what it is, and nobody here is angry or bitter or seeking blame for percieved shortcomings. Everyone knows you zoomies are the best of the best of the best of the best (of the best), and you said it yourself; these large corporations, they certainly know how to hire the best (of the best) employees.

The OP asked a question. I provided an answer. You took offense to it. And you still didn't answer my question.
