Indeed. I have 1600 tpic all in Falcons and Gulfstreams and none of the 121s have any interest in me. 4 yr degree in accounting and no blemishes on the professional or personal record. And of course I have friends with double to triple that pic number and no interest in them either. Pilot shortage is pretty much BS.
