In every industry its who you know. That is why most companies will first interview folks with internal recs. That is the only way to move your app to the short stack. It's seldom the most qualified applicant that gets the job, you just have to meet the mins. Network, Network, Network!
Why do you think someone with more time is more qualified than someone with less time? Maybe the low time guy went to have some specific training done that makes him more desirable? I highly recommend for high time guys without any big jet time to make them more marketable to think about going to Jet University. That way you can get valuable 727 time that is highly sought after by the majors. It worked for me!
