Look...just to give you guys a bit of perspective....
4000hrs and 2000hrs jet/on type is the magic number for a jet command in a lot of places in Europe.
That gives a cadet around 5 years give or take of aviating in various forms to learn their trade.
At a pinch, guys get upgraded at 3500hrs, and yet there aren't many airliners falling out of the sky over here.
On turboprops you can cut this by around a third, so 2500-3000hr's with 1000on type is generally the norm.
If it happens here, there is NO real reason why it can't happen there.

A non cadet speaking..who used to take a dim view of these 250hr wonders.
