Your hours are irrelevant. You can join with 100,000 hours but you'll join the bottom of the seniority list like everyone else. When it's your turn you'll get it. We have alot less bases now so time to command will depend on the usual things like expansion, retirements and where you bid. With 70% of first officers having the minimum company hour requirement as it stands you can probably expect at least 4 years. If you get into Flybe at the bottom of this round of recruitment you can expect even longer.
