Visual Calls,
The law says 1500 hrr TT is enough for an ATP. Companies then decide what the minimum requirements are to upgrade. All I'm saying is that you don't have to be Ace McCool himself to be a captain on anything. And I think the guys on the smaller equipment have it more difficult than the guys on the fancy jets, jets go above most of the weather and the turbo props stay in the clouds and ice all day. As captain on the turbo prop I had to work harder than on the 737, much more difficult conditions and smaller margins.
To everyone out there, it's no big deal to become capatain on a jet at the age of 25! As long as you have plenty experience, that's all that really matters.
