Also the CP will hire the pilot with a CIR ahead of the one without because he won't want the pilot taking time off a few months later to go and do it. From the pilot's point of view, will he have the time to study if he is flogging a C210/206 around all day doing big flight+duty times ?
The other thing the CP will look at is the rego of the Baron that the CIR was done in - and making a note to himself not to cross-hire that asymmetric little morsel.
