Got friends at 26 being captains with +1-2 years of experience already. Sure, short haul with 737/320, put 2 more years for a 330/50 or 777/47 and there you go. It's the company, their culture and how DEMOTIVATED pilots feel to do anything beyond the bare minimum to get the salary. that's Crystal clear.
not sure 900hrs in 10-11months is doing the bare minimum…
