Airlines with lots of movement as well due to flow or just general hiring out means lower overall time in the cockpit. The airlines without flow and more stagnant lists with no growth tend to have more experience up front. It’s a **** sandwich for those there but you don’t have 2000hr ca and 1000hr FOs on those cases. If I’m flying into a mountainous airport like a ski town or BFE Mexico I’d prefer Skywest or xjt just because that type of flying isn’t their exception is very common so it makes me feel better at least
