I don’t agree. What I said was:

I think that’s actually pretty accurate. I did not say that people with Part 91 or Part 135 or military time who would be competitive with or without 121 time would need more 121 time, I said that if someone had so little 121 time that their sim time made an appreciable difference in their competitiveness, they probably didn’t have enough 121 time.

I frequently get as many 121 hours on a single trip as the number of sim hours it took me to get my type rating for 121. If you believe the number of hours in a single week’s worth of 121 flying will make the difference in whether or not a major will invite you to an interview, I think you are perhaps assuming a precision to the process that isn’t much seen in practice, although I’ll grant you that some milestones (like 1000 TPIC) might help you with scoring by computer algorithm.

But by all means, provide accurate information.

Oh, and I’m glad you Lived Life. So have we all.
