If I were to say combined 5 years of professional experience in rust + C++, employers would definitely want to see the breakdown, unless they really don't care if it's 0+5.

(And in the case of my claim, it is indeed 0+5)

I think there’s a certain point at which you are considered safe to fly by yourself? Most commercial pilots seem to have hundreds to thousands of hours of combined flying time.

I'm not sophisticated enough to know for sure, but I wouldn't give that much extra credit for airplane hours. For example, if I thought that 500 helicopter hours was sufficient to entrust my life to someone, I wouldn't take someone with 300, just because he had 200 (or even 300 or 400) hours flying a completely different type of craft.

If it were going in the other direction, I might be more likely to be accommodating, since my sense is that helicopters are harder to master than airplanes. But I'm no expert here, and I would definitely ask around to see if my understanding is correct.
