I fly into Asia a few times a month on average and dont really see that it makes me more experienced or gains experience any faster or flying there is somehow more valuable than flying somewhere else.
Yes, I agree it is different experience but it is not "better".
And even if it was acually somehow better, so what? Its not like you have to deal with most of the challenges down here that flying up there brings.
Big deal.
Certainly no reason to employ a DEC over an experienced and capable F/O that passes his checks well.
