or an unexperienced captain ( FO A319)
Shows how much you have learnt Clara. Do you think that F/Os in a mature professional company are hidden away from the operation. All our F/Os are Captains in training from the first day they walk onto the flightdeck. I could give you a long list of F/Os at Easy who will make fine commanders when their time comes.
6 months in the RHS for a TP Captain would be about right before attempting a command course depending on ability.
