I sat in on an interview at my company lately, and the chief pilot wasn't real impressed that the guy had 1200 hours of Arizona time. He asked how much that would help him when he was flying in the snow and ice during the winter months.

Umm...yeah, I've flown through both ice and snow in Arizona. I'd tell your chief pilot that even if I've trained in Seattle I still wouldn't have flown through ice since I've never flown a known ice airplane. As for snow, well, we get that here too. LOL.
