Very unclear

Hey guys I have done some speaking around and got a very mixed response on this matter. Some have said forget about getting command in QR as proper policies are not in place. And some have said that the command will come up fast for guys who have more hours on a jet type (737 time) at the time of joining. For example for being considered for command on 777 in QR you need to have total 6000hours and 3 years in the company. So my logic says if a guy who joins the company with 1500 on 737 and another guy with 3000 hours. So the pilot with 3000 hrs will reach the TT of 6000hrs faster and if there is a requirement for captains, the pilot with more experience will get a shot at command. But again this is something I have heard, I don't know what exactly is the command upgrade policy the company is following. The company is presently hiring DEC, that also can affect command upgrade prospects presently and in the future.
