Get command time always. As someone who was involved in hiring interesting prospects in the past, command time was always paramount.

There is not much point in hiring an F/O with 5,000 hours on jets who has never been in the left seat. (The first question is "why were they still in the right seat"?).

It is much better to hire an ex-commander with 5,000 hours with no jet time and then teach him to fly the new equipment.
