Any pilot jumping on the left seat of a medium jet with that experience is ignorant about the risk.

Of course, those pilots taking the Command so soon are doing it for less salary or paying for it. I have rejected the Command several times because the salary offered was even less than FO.
100% agreed!!! I have seen a few episodes of 2500TT hours poorly trained captains with 500 hours TT P2F FO getting very close to kill everybody on board. Just by luck it did not happen..but it will. No layer of protection left..
