Yep, wasn't that long ago that it took a lot more than 1500 hours to get that first 121 job. I guess that the recent years of folks getting hired at a regional with 600-700 hours has established a new "normal" in many minds, but from a longer term perspective, getting 1500 hours before a 121 job is nothing.
