As well as my original post I think knowing what makes your application competitive is very important. This will affect people's decisions as to what companies they should target on the road to shiny jet holy grail. At least UA are kind enough to give you a carrot.
Say you have just clocked up 1000 hours with 300 multi day vfr . Now you get the chance at being a metro FO (no upgrade to Capt and day ops only). Alternatively you can go be a night IFR freight chieftain driver with a different company.
So what is the better choice? Some will say multi night command and others will say turbine FO. The problem is how on earth do you fill holes in your experience if you don't know where the holes are? I know some companies value night whilst others don't. Some view single turbine higher than multi piston. Others don't.
