I respectfully disagree. I've seen a ton of FOs with little to no PIC and little experience get the opportunity to go over to big leagues, while those of us with a lot more experience get left behind. The hiring managers have some goofy algorithm nowadays. I guess to them, feeding homeless kittens in a shelter is more valuable than exhibiting PIC level decision-making. Alas, it is what it is.
