It seems ridiculous in a country with such a well developed GA industry that they think this is the best they can get.
Why would it have accident written all over it? It’s not a space shuttle
As others have just said, you realise that Jetstar has been doing it for a number of years right? And a fair majority of the world also does it? And actually you know what, I reckon if you did a search of air transport jet hull accidents over the years, you wouldn’t find many where the FO had 200hrs.
