Lets not forget the guys who 'prove' themselves by self sponsoring on a modular course. The hard yakkers who juggle 2 jobs while studying get a little leverage in an interview. In my experience anyway.
Cant really comment on the low vs high experience debate but someone compared flying a 172 to 737 flying. Please remember people building experience in single engine lighties, incl. instructors, actually gain experience in 'making decisions' without a captain to turn to. Ok, so the a/c are much slower, but you do not have to be TOP GUN to fly an all EFIS, VNAV, HNAV, singing dancing jet into FAMILIAR airfields. There are various paths to the job of your dreams. Lets not knock anyone for being low/high houred, lucky, unlucky, rich/poor. Just as long as we are safe.
