Wrong. If you had ever flown with 200 hr F/O's who from day one aspire to be Cpt's, you would know why.
A 200 hour F/O aiming to be the best bloody F/O in the airline is a completely different beast, and would be most welcome in any airline worth their salt.
One need to know the place to be and how to do the assigned job before progressing. The job of a F/O and the job of a Cpt is different.
