As far as I know most countries in the world have a minimum experience requirement for the ATPL, in most if not all cases a TT of 1500 hours. With an ATPL and a type rating you meet the minimum requirements for captain. What is the big deal??? It's no rocket science, you know. Being in charge of the whole show is not that big a deal, just use common sense. I had my first command on a turbo prop at 23, first command on the 737 at 31. Guys in my company had their command on the 737 at 25 or 26. NO PROBLEM!!!!!!
