Two thousand hours is about the time to move on from flight instructing and find that first piston freight job somewhere
Not in Europe chap
I have no idea which European has stepped onto your toes...I think the point LSM wanted to make is, that:
the route instructing - piston freight - TP freight - coorperate jet or regional airline - Airline does not exist as such in Europe.
There are not so many instructors positions, there are almost no piston freighters around.

All the rest ('bloody europeans think they are experienced with 2Khrs') is your 'american' imagination or interpretation.
