Thank you very much for those answers.
A low-cost (min training/supervision/operational support) airline staffed with 4000 hr captains and 2000 hr FOs IS an accident waiting to happen, because the odds are stacked against safe flying.
I think this promotion was maybe more driven by the fact they due to the non "western" salaries they may have been stuck for Capts. and this, more then ability, was the driving force behind the upgrade.

I'm not sure I would agree with that, if you are talking of the likes of Easy and Ryanair, I work for one of the above. I flew with a recently upgraded Capt. and I was only about 400TT. at that time.
