No you would not. I have over 5000 hours, multiple jet type ratings, a twin turbo prop type rating.
I have over 4000 multi time, 2700 hours PIC which include 1700 hours multi turbine PIC, an FAA ATP, EASA ATPL, CASA ATPL, South African CPL/IR-Multi and I still get told i need 500 on type for European jobs.
I work in the US flying a jet for an airline and am battling to get an interview back in Aus or Europe with an airline.
I know 10000 hour pilots in Europe who cannot get jobs because they dont have 500 hours on type. Its a joke.
