Of which a lot is FO time!!
So, a low timer indeed!
This is a warning on so many levels!
Someone who's flown 8000 hours from 2011 to 2019 can hardly be called a "low-timer", that's more than most people flying in Europe (or even the US would rack up in that time).
Most Commanders flew as FOs before (and the saying goes that those who didn't aren't the best to fly with). Every time there's a new type out there, someone's gonna have to start flying it with zero hours on this type.
Where would you procure "ready-made" commanders with experience and command time on type?
If I got you wrong, please elaborate.
