Whether its right or not, thats another thing. I DONT think it right by any means. But im afraid, thats the way things run now. I am agreeing with you on almost every aspect. Experience means more than a degree. You have more experience than me, no doubt. And no doubt YOU should get a flying job over me if you are a better pilot. However, As a few other posters have already agreed with me, you will see your thinking may not be correct. This, I have more experience I am going to get the job, is not always correct anymore. And another thing, the "wize" spelled wrong, thats in your screen name! I was poking fun at you.

In a nut shell, I agree with you. I dont feel entitled to any job. Experience over a degree is the way it should be. Executives from big companies, they do not agree. Thats just the way things are going right now.
