Are you really trying to say that any LTC who gives YOU a line check must have more than 15,000 hours? If so, that is a fantastic theory.
Not at all !!!, my point was simply that in RYR, everything follows an accelerated process, i.e. time to command and promoted to trainer just a short period after that. In many companies, F/O's spend 6 or 7 years in the left seat before command, let alone a training position. Spoke to a Capt recently who admitted in 6 years in the company (his first flying job), he had
never had a diversion (wish I had that kind of luck !)
Your second paragraph kind of proves my point - they just need people to police the SOP's, experience doesn't seem to matter .........
And JW411, don't forget, LTC's are there not just to conduct checks, they are training the future Captains of tomorrow too, by passing on their "wealth" of experience ......
