I think I read that you are hoping to start class here eventually. Why don't you revisit that question once you get out on the line...
You don't sound rude, just short sighted and possibly ignorant. Last time I checked, the aviation industry wasn't made up entirely of American Eagle pilots, or even just regional airline pilots. My comment said that a PIC type could provide opportunities in the future. These opportunities could be international, Part 91 corporate or private, or Part 135. How many guys do you know who would choose to move out of Part 121 flying to fly a small jet or turbo prop for 50k - 80k a year, be home 90% of the time, and never have to worry about Crew Scheduling calling at 5:00 am? I bet quite a few pilots would be interested, and those opportunities could be possible with enough logged PIC time. Of course you could not say that you were the PIC under Part 121 operations, and I never insinuated that. Open your eyes, man. There is whole big aviation world outside of Regional Part 121, and some people might just go there after Eagle!
As far as what to say in an interview; always tell the truth. That way you don't have to keep track of what you said.
