Insurance can be variable. A solid training system with a good reputation may bring hour requirements down. At times Australian carriers have put 200hr TT pilots into the RHS of a 320 or Q400 (and I assume still remain insured), whilst simultaneously another company has required 500 hrs multi command/ 2000hrs TT to sit in the right seat of a Metro (most probably with a far less robust C&T system).
