If you talk to anybody and explain them; What do you think creates experience, a 5 hour flight staring at a screen or 5 landings and take off's in 5 hours in icing, turbulence and all the crap you can find around FL160? You can all guess what they will say.

I hope you know that 5 hours on jet isnt only about staring at screens. The longer haul you do the more managing you do. As in managing the whole flight, be it pax issues, crew issues, tech issues etc. the more pax you carry also increases the chances of medical, security etc problems. As an airline pilot, take off landing aint not the only applicable experience. Try not to see this from you own TP experience only. Till then keep learning, theres lots more above FL160 then you know now.
