Be it left or right seat. Only (limited) way of getting a job is being an actual airliner with tons of hours on the LEFT seat.
Dear tomuchwork,
For the sake of clarity, at no point have I said that GA Command time are worth anything in airlines. What I said was, at most, exactly the opposite. And that was one of the reasons why I've advised against the move to GA as an F/O.
For the rest, I agree with most of what you said, and would like to reiterate that I was lucky enough to have a wonderful experience in GA (flying a privately-owned Global Express for a great owner). Point.
Cheers,
C
