Fair enough Selesone. I was genuinely curious as to whether or not you'd be able to get a command in Europe with less than 4000 hours and it seems you can. I know some 3000hr guys who would be better suited to command than some of hour high time guys so I have no problem with the concept at all.
Good on you for driving forward with your career.
Have you asked some older heads what they think of your idea? It reminds me of an old Captain I had when I first became an F/O, he used to say, on a regular basis," Sometimes young man, the long way is the short way" and he was often right.
Cheers
