Yeah eastern has a high cap AOC so only ATPL and company requirments are needed. But activating an ATPL is the problem for most of the guys and gals coming through. ATPL req are 1500 TT of which 750 hours have to be either PIC or ICUS; 75 hours instrument (45 inflight); 100 hours night; and the rest whatever, hence the problem.
