I agree with you. Also some people just dont have what it takes. Hours dont really matter so much after a certain point, you can either fly or you cant. Ive flown with some 20,000 hours CAs who werent so good but have flown with CAs with low time like 5k who were stellar. Just out of curiosity are most applicants for air japan FOs?? Or are there many narrowbody CA applicants?
