Nobody’s insinuating that a civilian with 1,700 TT should get hired over a fighter jock with 1,700 TT. What I find ludicrous is that there are thousands of 10,000+ TT RJ captains with oodles of turbojet 121 PIC time that don’t have skeletons in their closet and yet can’t get an interview while someone with zero 121, crew, high density airport, CRM, etc. experience gets hired with 1,700 TT. That to me is ridiculous. Nothing you can say will change my mind.
