I don't know.
Scenario:
You are a CFI and a small FBO in western Connecticut that happens to have a contract to do cargo runs in their Cherokee. Small stuff. The pilot who usually does these has been offered a job somewhere else. The FBO owners know you and trust you, so they ask whether you want the job. Of course you do! It's small, but heck, it's a "real" pilot position.
So you go through your logbook and, sure enough, if you counted all those flights with your students to the towered airport 12 NM away, you clear the 135 cross country minimums. But without it, you come up short.
So you turn to your prospective employer and say,
"Sorry, but I can't take the job. It would be a little cheap."
