the simple answer is yes, most FO have the basic requirements to be captain when they join an airline, no 200hr ab initio system anymore in the USA that I'm aware of, there were through a couple of universities, but were short-lived...so get the job, perform well, have no HR or training issues, and when your number comes up, start your upgrade training
