Am I the only one who thinks it sounds a little cheap to use CC flights not done for a rating towards 135 mins? The FAR's say it is completely legal to log a 5NM flight as a CC, but when happens when you go to interview and the company realizes half of your CC time is less than 50NM flights and rejects it, just like some 121 operators reject certain types of PIC time?

Personally, I have never bothered to make a new column for less than 50NM cross country's...I just don't see the point. I can't apply them to the ATP, and by the time I have my ATP i'll be ready to move to either 121 or 135, making the point moot.
