So regardless of whether they're flying instructors or 2,000hr turbo-prop drivers, it shouldn't matter.

Haha it's suppose to be Jokey!
I hear exactly what your saying. I understand they aren't looking for the best pilot necessarily, and train-ability comes into it all.
I was more referring back to previous comments in a way, that noted they have overlooked a lot of TP drivers and taken a lot of FIs instead.
At the end of the day, if you tick their boxes, interview and sim well, you give yourself the best chance!
Good luck to anyone who makes it through!
