I think you'll find they have actually officially lowered the minimum time for FO's in the company to upgrade. It was set at 1500 hours company time and now is a tiered system, it is still 1500 for Trainee, 1000 for D/E or 700 for guys that start with previous Dash time.
The 700 was always a waiver that the CP could enforce and not the actual minimum, this was based on individual performance through cyclics ect. There is still a clause in the OM that the CP can lower these minimums.
The only D/E capt so far is actually from cairns, all the south african's are starting as FO's
