Scheduled airline experience = X points

When you hit the magic number your resume pops up to the top of the list and they call you for an interview. At that point it's how well you can lie in an interview room.
Charter companies and corporate companies use their own methods and each one is a little different.
Perhaps a little asking at the various companies might give you a better idea of what matrix they are using and if you will fit the mix.
The breakdown actually makes sense.
