No I think you failed to verbally reason my post.

First off experience does bring something. It can bring good decision making - not necessarily good flying.

Secondly regardless of your hours you aren't that valuable.

Thirdly I said you shouldn't come in as an SFO - just as an FO - which is probably what will happen. Don't apply to a company with a large part of their fleet at LGW if you don't like LGW. Don't apply to a company where probably over 90% of the training takes place in the UK if you don't like the UK. Don't apply to a company that already has Flexi broadly on display and offer if you don't like it.

If you don't like that then don't come, no one will feel any loss apart from you.

Fourthly, if you're going to come here trying to be a right hand seat captain you'll get a terrible reputation and risk never being promoted. That's some friendly advice.

Finally, previous Boeing captains that converted to the airbus HAVE had problems but flew with experienced FOs. They were owed the position because of their previous position and it being the company's choice to change type.
