Not exactly sure, but have heard they could be changing shortly.
Have heard it may be combination of hours/time on type as opposed to 2000hrs Aeronautical Exp.
Sounds like it's designed to acknowledge the fact that while cadets/trainees may have low total time, 2000hrs in the right seat counts equally or more than 2000hrs in the BK/AF/JT circuit.
Shouldn't affect too many newbies though, by the time your number is up, you'll have the hours.
