"So do you really think 3 months in type trumps 20 years full time in aviation"?
First thing you have to realize in the contract aviation world is the current minimums are REQUIRED. It may not seem right or fair to you but to the requesting companies this is what they want. Nothing less. 500 hours in type will always trump 20 years in a corporate jet, unless of course you are applying for that particular type corporate jet. It is just the way it is. If you want to be marketable then you have to fulfill the prerequisites.
