Agreed....Part 121 should not be the only experience. I figure as long as you have time in a professional operation, you are qualified. My only point is PIC requirements induce the chase the upgrade problem. This is why people are willing to fly for low wages. If it didn't matter if you came from one company or another, people would not be so willing to go to the bottom feeders, which in turn the bottom feeders would need to raise pay, to fill their seats. Supply and Demand.
