The problem is that airlines & insurance companies equate HOURS with EXPERIENCE.
Hours do not mean a lot.
Experience is better.
Understanding & Wisdom are what is needed, but very difficult to quantify or document.
Think the hours spent commuting for 10 years on the I-405 in LA vs driving a season in a World Rally Championship car.

True, but hours and experience don’t mean a lot without being current. The longer it has been since your last hours and experience flown, the greater the loss in how sharp you are. After a long vacation of a couple weeks I can definitely tell how I am not “up to speed” until a few flights are flown.
