300-hour pilots
 

Just curious to know how things work in America and Canada.

Is the reason that low time (300+ hr) guys in the US and Canada don't get into flying the bigger aircraft (i.e. big turbpops and jets) due to insurance companines requiring a minimum number of hours ? Or is it mainly because theres plenty of guys with 2000+ hours around which sets the bar high ? Or both ?

Do aviaition insurance companies not allow an airline to employ 250 hour guys? How come Asia has such low time guys - my guess. Supply & demand.
