Satisfied with you bogus point of contention Sky?
You still have not proven that a person with radial time won't make it to an interview. We are all waiting for proof of this concept and you provide nothing - as usual - in the way of anything other than negative opinions. Where do you get these "odds" you speak of?
You seem to assume that we are talking about someone applying to UAL with nothing other than the round engine to fill their resume. If this is your contention, I'm thinking many on here might agree with you, but I haven't taken this thread in such a manner. We are talking about someone adding such time to an already attractive resume and your thinking that this "side track" will derail them. That has already been proven a false notion by many on here who have done that exact thing.

People here have mentioned how in the
past, as in the 1980's, piston multi engine time held some value to airline employers. Airlines list their minimums. It is not hard to check it out. Most legacy airlines
today want 1000 hours of turbine pilot on command time just to apply. Part 121 jet PIC however is the most competitive.
These facts are self evident to most anyone who has even filled out an application with a major airline within the last 15 years. Most who are commenting here have not had to look for a job for some time now.
I personally have thousands of hours of part 135 piston multi-engine and single engine PIC and I can tell you that it is worthless to the legacy airlines. Jet or turbine part 121 is where it is at.
