Tell that to any one of the numerous command ready people that have either recently left or are in the process of leaving. From what I gather, the current command selection procedure is in the process of being looked at and re-written.
With 10k hours you'll certainly have no problem with the 3000 Factored Hours required and would appear experienced enough to handle a mature and sensible command assessment....when one is written.
2 stripes until 6 months from final line check, then you can apply for SFO and Command at the same time. Both of which go to a selection panel for review.
Good luck!
