In all reality, high multi-time requirements is only going to draw the line between previous part 121 and non part 121 (which is a perfectly fine distinction to made, as all the previous topics have proven). 100-200 hours multi helps weed out those fresh commercials who bought their time and those who spent time hauling boxes or doing a couple hundred Vmc cuts with students in seminoles.
But 1,000 hours multi? How many pilots REALLY got hired with 1,000 or more hours multi? Eagle is hiring right now around 200-300 and there are 121ers on the street. I don't think we'll be seeing much higher than that.
I did along with turboprop and jet experience, and a jet type rating. I was told by more than one in the training department I was really lucky to get hired because I was OVERQUALIFIED!!! I had too much time (though because I had very little turbine pic no major would interview me)
