One of my previous students got a job as an FO on a 744 in Africa after less than 200 hours. Thanks to one of his relative in his family that owns the company. Now it's always been like that in this industry and others and it will always be. No matter what the age is, you have to start somewhere, and the pilot is not to blame. Would you have refused such a job if you were young or quite unexperienced ? I seriously doubt so. I say good for them. We don't all have luck or contacts, we'll just have to do it the long way and suck it up.
