It's an arguable point, but nonetheless, I stand by my belief that only so much 'decision making' whilst flying a 206 round the swamps is applicable to an airline job. It's down to the individual concerned - don't get me wrong, it all helps (I've personally instructed, chartered, contracted, and finally after 4K+ hrs, airlined
), but only up to a point, if airline flying is your goal. At the end of the day, do what you enjoy. If you're really not liking your job anymore, it's time to move. And if you're a dumbass, more time on single pilot types is not going to change the fact that you're a dumbass. Conversely, if you're a switched chap/ess, maybe you'll still impress despite lower hours - like I said, it's all down to the individual concerned.
Edit: Aaaah, wandering off topic is awesome. Soz.
