Is this a big deal? My TT is 2,200, commercial with 121 experience, no ATP.

Me: "Umm...yeah you do know that only about 4% of ATPs are women and all minorities make up like 9% of the rest of us?"
RWMP: "But, but...whatever man they still get hired in front of me!"
Me: "What have you done in the past few years to make yourself more competitive?"
RWMP: "Drink beer, whine about others getting hired and play Xbox."
Me: "Cool."

Certain people with 18 months 121 and 1000 TSIC get hired by legacies at age 24. This despite the fact that there are tens of thousands of older folks with years of experience and thousands of hours of TPIC available, and not all of them "have not made themselves competitive".
It's wrong and that's all there is to it. If you're the beneficiary of that sort of PC BS, don't kid yourself EVERYBODY knows how you got there and nobody gives you quite the benefit of doubt of competence they do for someone who earned it.
Nothings going to change those facts. Enjoy.
