Comes down to the individual; trying to diagnose why someone doesn't get a call from any ("larger") airline on an online forum is somewhat pointless anyway.
I agree with most of that....having been an instructor for quite sometime on a "heavy" jet...it can be a steep curve going from light to heavy. It boils down to how much OE your company is willing to invest in someone. So yes it's all relative and EXPENSIVE. Prior heavy time helps. I know we certainly put an app near the top of the pile if they have "prior" heavy or Boeing. OE usually goes quick and without hiccups.
