Not the case. The minimums were 3000 total and 1500 on company. However at CP discretion it could be reduced to 2000 total and 700 on company aircraft. You would of had to have previous dash time or a large amount of previous experience prior to joining Qlink to be considered for that discretion. However the 3000/1500 seemed to be forgotten and everyone was expecting commands as soon as they reached the 700/1500 and kicking up a stink when the command was rejected as they had little to no other previous experience. The the new Command policy was introduced to have no grey areas and recognise previous experience compared to fresh cadets by having 3 lots of minimums all depending on your experience prior to joining to the group.
