I think all it means when people refer to your 121 experience is just that, lack of 121 experience. It's not meant to devalue your previous life and career experience. It more refers to frame of reference. Just because you had to arrange hotels or sleep on the plane in a previous life doesn't mean we should be doing that here and I know that's not what you're say. The point is that just because one may think spirit is pretty coush compared to (insert any previous career) does not mean it's as good as it should be or even close to being on par with what a 121 job should be. This is the zenith of the 121 career field and we should treat just like the top of any other career by demanding the absolute best not by settling for something because it's better than an unrelated job we may have once done.
