To me the way the industry discriminates against very experienced part 91 or part 135 pilots is just plain ridiculous, I have a good friend that is currently flying a GV, he was between jobs about a year ago and although he has over 12,000 hours with over 6,000 jet PIC (GIV, GV, Falcon 2000, Hawker) has 500 hours as an F/O on the B-762 and flies an A/C that is not that far off in weight from a 737, A320 literally all over the world, I couldn't even get him an interview because of the part of the regs under which he flies, but a guy flying F/O on a 737 domestically with little PIC and little international experience qualifies because of the part of the regs under which he flies. Sorry for the rant but I'm I the only one who thinks that is just plain stupid? Out of my going on three decades in aviation about half of it was flying corporate and I flew with folks back in those days that I wouldn't hesitate for one second to put my family in the back of their plane as DEC's on a heavy jet on their very first flight out of OJT.
