Just don't expect that 5,000 hours in GA will count for anything, because a twit who happens to be good at recognizing shapes and patterns will jump in front of you with 200 hours.
I well remember a young 1500 hour GA pilot who went for a Qantas interview 15 years ago. Having flown with him I knew he was an excellent pilot and very intelligent. He was knocked back by the aptitude test on the first day. Four years later he was accepted by a Hong Kong airline and got his A320 command three years later. 15 years on he is a senior management pilot on the A330 and wealthy beyond his dreams. So much for warm and fuzzy HR interviews and matching objects with each other.
