Unfortunately I am only a novice but where were you guys when i was being hammered on the other thread by this particular captain:
Unfortunately GA experience is utterly irrelevant when you're sitting in an airliner, it's a completely different type of operation.
Would you rather have a GA pilot with ten thousand of hours of irrelevant experience (but using your criteria 'experienced') and two hundred hours of relevant experience flying you around or a thousand hour airline pilot who has received quality training, has been subject to several simulator checks, ongoing assesments and gaining relevant experience for the job at hand?
Perfecting the art of wanging a puddle jumper around VFR is NOT relevant to operating an airliner in controlled airspace in one of the most highly regulated industries in the world.
