Ever flew with someone who asked you how much time you have which would determine rather or not you could fly with them after reaching ATP mins? We don't have to play the game against each other. I do believe in going the extra mile but not this way against each other.
"They" are career-destination majors, the kind who pay you hundreds of thousands of $ to work 10-12 days/month.
"We" is self-explanatory.
I'm not here to debate this, just telling you how it is.
Also other sectors of aviation also like applicants to have good logbooks, because they DON'T have the obvious assurance of PRIA confirming that you worked for a prior 121 carrier for X number of years.
You're not going to change it, but if you don't want to play I'm sure someone else will be happy to take your slot when the time comes.
