where I come from F/Os have 5000-10000 hrs and Captains 10000-15000 hrs before making Captain
Which is why there's lots of Aussie Captains over here with a lot less than that! (And all good guys and girls if you can stop 'em wingeing about the weather).
And if I now have a lot more than that, can I now have a job over there? (Coffs Harbour would be nice).
Sorry, what was that..?
