Then again, some of the airlines ( regional, among others) have been very clever when it comes to advertising their pilots experience. I remember a United Airlines commercial several years that esposed the vast experience of all their pilots only to find out they were hiring 300-400hr interns and other low time folks. I know its tough but I try to stay positive about the aviation profession and can only hope that one day your average "joe" will understand how important our job is.
