Hours don't matter at all. They just have lower time because if they had high time they wouldn't of done the program (most likely). I'm not sure if there are any stats as to the typical hour accumulation up to the point of the type or not, but I'm guessing on the whole these people have less TT.

Now if the pilot who did not buy his multi time as shared hood time goes out and gets a CRJ type rating, then the airline should look at him as low risk as well.

They don't? I would think having a type would put them equal with the other guy with the type. Are you saying airlines DON'T look at them equally? What are you basing that on (ie stats?)?

And on top of it, his or her greater hours are from instructing, not shared timebuilding. Why should the program pilot be given the preference?

I'm still missing something. BOTH pilots have type ratings? Are there any stats that say the lower time pilots are hired over and above higher time, but still type rated pilots?
