A 500 hour guy doesn't have it(or very, very little) because of lack of exposure. So, yes the other flying done prior to the 121 job does make one a better 121 pilot.
Nope, I haven't. As stated earlier, I'm not a professional pilot. I am only trying to find out what you guys think about certain things. I have been told by pilots that instructing won't teach you a thing about the 121 world, that is why I mentioned it. Thanks for clarifying with your input. I'm not trying to pretend that I know what's up, I am just trying to learn, like many others.
