what are you talking about, dojet? since I knew that connections are the most important thing.. that means I should have no more questions to ask/think about regarding prop v. jet?
and going back to that q I wondered about "who would a major prefer all else being equal".. one who has a connection would obviously have an advantage over another whether they are prop or jet driver... yes, even a newbie like me would know that.. if one had connections and the other didn't, they wouldn't fit under "all else being equal." because when people say "all else being equal," they mean "ALL else being equal." my intention of putting "all else being equal" in there was to cover ALL aspects of the candidates, except whether he was a prop or jet driver.. like being equal as in both have same hours, same degree, no connections or similiar connections, same color hair, etc. etc. I just didn't mention what all those equals were word for word and simply said "all else being equal."
so YES I definitely agree with you that prop v. jet hardly matters if you have a connection.. but the q was ALL ELSE being equal.
nitpicky arent we???
