I had my figures wrong. It's 1500hrs total time of which 500hrs must be a multicrew aircraft. So my comment still stands. You can't unfreeze your ATPL unless someone lets you into the right hand seat.
You're contradicting yourself, as in one sentence you say
Just seems to be a lot of back slapping going on for something that should be well within the capabilities of a professional pilot.
whilst in the next breath you say
Tell you what though i wouldn’t want to be on board with a 200 hour fo and an incapacitated skipper.
I think you should have a little more faith in the system. The FO has been trained to fly the aircraft and will have no problem landing it without incident. If there was any doubting the FO's capabilities then the FO would not have been released to fly the line without a safety pilot in the jump seat.
