No offence taken.
I have 1040TT, 90 ME, 200 IFR (w/117 actual). Until a week or so ago, I hadn't flown since last May. I feel as though I have a lot to offer an airline, as my 1000 hours have been anything but simple, around the patch, one hour a thousand times type flying. Real (transcontinental) cross countries (VFR & IFR), flight testing of homebuilts, aerobatic flying (and, briefly, instructing), warbird flying, and about half a dozen emergencies successfully survived with no injuries and no bent metal. Unilke a lot of low-timers, for whom the notion of how they'd react in an emergent situation is nothing but an abstraction, I KNOW what I'll do when it all hits the fan.
ASA still wants me to show 50 hrs. within 90 days. That seems excessive to me, all things considered, but I'm out there punching holes in the sky (and burning money I don't have) nearly every day. Another 2.6 today.

Time to fire up the old credit card that I just paid off.
