That would suggest they are building the requirements on someone who had 5000 hours in the RHS of a jet and then 1000 hours in the LHS. Seems very old school, i can only use myself as an example, I am already in the LHS and it would take me another 8 years or so to have 6000 hrs in a jet, and by then I'd have like 4000 PIC.
Maybe old school but it is what it is. In order to apply to my previous job as a FO 25 years ago, the minimums to apply as FO were 5k total with 1k turbine PIC.
