Who's going to leave sooner...

- ex-121 w/ 5000TT 2500 TPIC

- CFI with 1000 TT/100 ME

At least with the CFI you can predict how long he's going to stay: Time to upgrade plus 2-3 years.

Sorry, it's well established that you can discriminate based on too much experience. I would also hazard a guess that if you could communicate your circumstances to the employer (ie very strong desire for a certain domicile or geographic region) that they might take you on the basis that you really want to work there long term.
