I think they realistically want closer to 3,000 hours for a DEFO and jet time would be an asset. That's why I went the DESO route, although you might be right, maybe get a jet job for a year or two at home then reapply for the DEFO. Might save a few years compared to the SO path, as they're estimating 5-6 years as a SO before getting the FO position.
