I am pretty sure ANYONE would prefer a few hundred hours in your own C152 over just lying on your logbook. Think of all the XC and simulated IFR (assuming it's equipped) you can do with your own plane. It is definitely not totally useless or else no one would count it.

Except he’s right. Which would you prefer on an app? Here’s to 152s, Parker pens & yelling at clouds. Caddy daddies & Karmann Ghia’s

I mean, my first 5,000 hours was in ratty turboprops and the most fun ill ever have in a plane, but I don't fault a guy for wanting to gravitate to the route that might accelerate their career seniority a bit faster if 121 airline's is the end game.

The statements he made I actually agree with, unfortunately. But when a young guy is given two scenarios----- CFI to regional to maybe a flow, or signing up to fly around at night in a Bandeirante in the northeast, which door do you think he'll pick if they are looking at an airline career long term?
